What to expect from the fight between Nina Nunes and Amanda Lemos?
Amanda Lemos has been in dominant form recently and has won her last 2 fights via a 1st round TKO. Ever since moving down to the Strawweight division, the fighter has performed admirably, winning all her fights convincingly. Therefore, it is clear that when Lemos faces Nunes, she will be the slight favorite.
However, despite losing her last 2 UFC fights, Nunes remains a very talented fighter. ‘The Strina’ has been a part of some great fights over the years, defeating fighters like Angela Hill and Randa Markos. Therefore, one cannot count Nunes out when she faces Lemos at UFC Fight Night 199.
