In July 2017, at UFC Fight Night: Nelson vs. Ponzinibbio, Lemos made her promotional debut in the UFC in place of the injured Lina Länsberg and was knocked out in the second round. Amanda Lemos was suspended for two years by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) on March 28, 2018, as a result of a test that revealed stanozolol and its metabolite, which came from a sample that was taken on November 8, 2017. She was scheduled to make her comeback from suspension against Veronica Macedo in a strawweight bout at UFC Fight Night: Edgar vs. The Korean Zombie on December 21, 2019. After Macedo withdrew, Miranda Granger took her place. Through technical submission, Lemos was able to overcome Granger in the bout. Lemos was supposed to fight Marina Rodriguez at UFC 280 on October 22, 2022, but the fight was moved to UFC Fight Night 214 for an unspecified reason.
