Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) sees strawweights Michelle Waterson and Amanda Lemos looking to climb the rankings when they meet this weekend (Sat., July 16, 2022) at UFC Long Island inside UBS Arena in Belmont Park, New York.
Waterson has been a mainstay at 115 pounds since joining the promotion in 2015 and she’s fought a “Who’s Who” of the division. Lemos is newer to the Octagon, but has impressed with a string of hard-hitting victories. Both women are coming off losses, and are on the wrong side of 35, so the pressure will be on here to score a big win and build toward a possible last shot at UFC gold.
Let’s take a closer look at the keys to victory for each fighter:
