Who won the fight between Amanda Lemos and Jessica Andrade at UFC Fight Night?
Jessica Andrade scored an impressive first-round submission win over Amanda Lemos in the main event at UFC Vegas 52. Riding a five-fight win streak, the technically sound Lemos was expected to be a tough test for 'Bate Estaca'.
Andrade gave Lemos the respect she deserved, content to circle around while her opponent took the center of the octagon. Unlike her usual self, the former strawweight champion did not get into wild exchanges from the onset.
After gaging for a while, Andrade suddenly chose to close the distance and caught her Brazilian counterpart in the clinch. 'Bate Estaca' sunk in a standing arm-triangle, forcing Lemos to tap in at 03:13 of the opening round.

This was the first strawweight outing for Jessica Andrade in almost two years after a short quest for flyweight gold. 'Bate Estaca' scored an impressive first-round knockout win over Katlyn Chookagian in her divisional debut which landed her a title shot against Valentina Shevchenko.
'Bullet' simply overwhelmed Andrade in all aspects, earning a second-round technical knockout win to defend her title at UFC 261. The Brazilian then bounced back with another first-round TKO win over Cynthia Calvillo before dropping back to strawweight for this bout. 'Bate Estaca' could probably make her second strawweight title run in the near future.
