Lemos Analysis: Last Chance Saloon

Amanda Lemos has had her chance to win the UFC title. But she was thoroughly hammered by Zhang. However, she gets another chance to become the top contender with a win over Jandiroba, and we think she’s good enough to take it.

The 37-year-old comes off a strong performance from beating Dern and that can’t be overlooked. Dern is one of the toughest competitors in the division, so the underdog is ready for the next challenge.

Desperation could seep in for Lemos, but she can use that to her advantage, and she’s a quality 14-time winner against strong opponents.

Betting Trends to Know

• Money has come for Lemos, so she’s the best-backed fighter despite starting as the betting underdog.

Jandiroba Analysis: Rising the Ranks

We have been impressed with Jandiroba’s recent wins over Godinez and Rodriguez. They are near the top of the division, and Virna Jandiroba did well to get past those tricky challenges.

She now faces her toughest test to date, and although we don’t think she’ll win, she deserves respect, The 36-year-old is 20-3 in MMA, and she will look to take the fight to the ground, which is her best chance to beat Lemos.

However, against Godinez, she only completed two of nine takedown attempts, and we think Lemos is a much stronger fighter than Godinez.

It’s crucial to her winning, so we’re not thrilled by the -125 odds for the favorite.

Betting Trends to Know

• Jandiroba is a -125 favorite to win after opening at -130. There has been a slight change in her UFC odds, but nothing to worry about if you’re backing her to win.

Lemos vs Jandiroba Betting Prediction

Our UFC Fight Night Lemos vs Jandiroba betting preview has Lemos being too strong for the rising contender.

Lemos knows this is her last chance to impress the fight makers after being destroyed by Zhang in the title fight, We feel as though she deserves a chance to redeem herself at a pay-per-view event, and for that to happen, she needs to get past a charging Jandiroba.

Back Lemos to win at the -105 odds before they potentially firm on fight night.
