Andrade (22-9), still the No. 1 ranked female fighter at 125 pounds, is coming off a first-round knockout win over Cynthia Calvillo at UFC 266 last September. Prior to that violent victory, “Bate Estaca” failed in her bid to dethrone division queenpin, Valentina Shevchenko, at UFC 261 back in April 2021.

Lemos (11-1-1), meanwhile, racked up five straight wins inside the Octagon, including a tough split decision victory over longtime veteran Angela Hill earlier this year in “Sin City.” “Amandinha” is currently ranked No. 10 at 115 pounds, but a win over Andrade will likely shoot her into the division Top 5.
