Tatiana Suarez (11-1-0) versus Amanda Lemos (15-4-1) is a UFC Women's Strawweight bout on Saturday night at Frost Bank Arena in San Antonio, Texas. Tatiana Suarez will come into this fight looking for an immediate response to her recent loss to Zhang Weili in a title fight. Before that decision loss, she had gone on a seven-fight winning run in the franchise. The American fighter is currently No. 2 in the division.
Amanda Lemos, on the other hand, will look to cause an upset as she continues to search for consistency. The Brazilian bruiser is coming off a decision win against Iasmin Lucindo at UFC 313 in March this year. Initially, the former title challenger had lost two of her previous three assignments, including a decision loss to Zhang Weili. As it stands, Lemos is No. 4 in the strawweight rankings.

Our Tatiana Suarez vs Amanda Lemos Prediction
This fight presents a classic grappler versus striker bout, with Suarez being the warm -435 betting favorite. Suarez brings top-level wrestling skills, which may help her end this fight on the mat. She will likely want to attempt several takedowns to neutralize Lemos' stand-up strikes. However, the Brazilian can defend takedown attempts vigorously, averaging 59% takedown defense in her UFC career. Still, at 38 years old, Lemos may struggle to keep up with the relentless attacks from her younger opponent. Tatiana will eventually land a takedown and finish the job.
Our prediction for Tatiana Suarez vs Amanda Lemos: Tatiana Suarez to get a submission victory.
