Brazilian mixed martial artist Amanda Oliveira de Lemos, born May 22, 1987, competes in the Ultimate Fighting Championship's strawweight division. She is currently ranked 5 at strawweight and 14 at pound-for-pound in the UFC women's rankings as of August 2023.
Lemos began her professional mixed martial arts career competing primarily in Jungle Fight on her native Brazilian regional circuit. Lemos competed for the Jungle Fight Women's Bantamweight Championship in January 2016 against Mayra Cantuária.
At Jungle Fight 88, a rematch was organized given the majority draw, and it took place on June 25, 2016. Ultimately, Lemos won the title by knockout in the third round.
In July 2017, at UFC Fight Night: Nelson vs. Ponzinibbio, Lemos made her promotional debut in place of the injured Lina Länsberg, and she was knocked out in the second round.
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.
Amanda Lemos 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. In the third round, she was given a technical knockout victory.
