Lemos (6-0-1) is going to be making her UFC debut in this fight and she’ll be returning to action after a year-plus layoff. Lemos also spent the majority of her career in the Jungle Fight promotion, where she defeated Debora Dias Nascimento, Carolina Cunha and Mayra Cantuaria Rodrigues. Lemos has only seen one of her professional MMA fights go the distance, which was a draw against Mayra Cantuaria Rodrigues at Jungle Fight 85.
