Amanda Lemos

Amanda Lemos is the biggest puncher in the UFC women's strawweight division, a Brazilian power striker with knockout ability that's genuinely rare for the weight class. She throws heavy, hunts the finish and is dangerous in every exchange - a style that produced highlight knockouts and wins over ranked names like Marina Rodriguez and Michelle Waterson.

That power carried her to a 2023 title shot against the dominant Zhang Weili. She fell short there, and her toughest tests have come against the division's elite grapplers, but she's remained a feared top contender throughout. Fans love Lemos for the simple, exciting reason that she can end any fight with a single shot.
