MAIN CARD (from 1.00 Sunday SA time): <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Marina Rodriguez (1.46) v Amanda Lemos (2.85) (Strawweight)<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From humble beginnings in Brazil to headlining a UFC card in the fight capital of the world, Rodriguez (16-1-2) and Lemos (12-2-1) are fighters through and through. Highly-skilled assassins, they\u2019ve climbed rung for rung into the strawweight top 10 and can see the championship in the distance.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rodriguez, in particular, is within reach of a shot at the gold. Since dropping a split decision to current 115-pound queen Carla Esparza in July 2020 (her only career loss), she\u2019s won four straight to move into third position behind only former champions Zhang Weili and Rose Namajunas.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those were all against top contenders – a knockout of Amanda Ribas, decision wins over Michelle Waterson-Gomez and Mackenzie Dern and, most recently, a split decision win over Yan Xiaonan in March. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On such an impressive roll, one has to think a victory over Lemos will put her in line to face the winner of next weekend\u2019s title tilt between Esparza and Zhang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
