Amanda Lemos Team Analysis

Brazil

Current form

Amanda Lemos last entered the octagon in September and lost to Tatiana Suarez by unanimous decision. However, the dry figures of the protocol do not fully reflect the image of that battle: the meeting turned out to be much more tenacious than it might seem at first glance. In recent years, the Brazilian's career has resembled a pendulum: victories give way to defeats. Since 2021, Lemos has covered the distance exactly like this: one step forward, one step back. But at the same time, it has some very solid successes under its belt. For example, a victory over current champion Mackenzie Dern and a fight won against prospect Yasmin Lucindo.

It is true that there were also failures. Lemos lost to Virna Jandiroba and Zhang Weili, and in the title match. Now the Brazilian is 38 years old, and for a fighter it is already a respectable age. However, he is still capable of showing a high level, which was demonstrated both in the fight with Lucindo and in certain episodes of the meeting with Suárez.

Lemos Statistics

Victories: 8
Defeats: 4
Ties: 0
Average takedowns: 1.2 per fight

fighting style

Robertson's main task is to take down his opponent. However, this will not be easy. Lemos traditionally defends takedowns with confidence. Even Suárez, considered one of the strongest fighters in the division, was only able to make three successful transfers out of twelve attempts. To give you an idea: Suárez averages 4.41 takedowns every 15 minutes of fighting. Lemos had faced many strong fighters throughout her career, and in fact, only Zhang Weili could take her to the court regularly at will. But Zhang is a special case, an athlete of a unique level.

Gillian Robertson Team Analysis

Canada

Current form

Gillian Robertson's current form is probably at the top right now. The Canadian has won four fights in a row and eight of her last ten. Furthermore, he completed a significant portion of these fights ahead of schedule, leaving no extra work for the judges. In the last match, Robertson confidently faced Marina Rodríguez. In recent years, she has also managed to knock out Rodríguez and Michelle Waterson-Gómez, after literally bombarding her opponents with hard blows.

But it must be admitted: the coming battle is a serious test. Robertson very confidently treated her opponents, but many of them were no longer at the top of their careers or were simply inferior to her in class.

Forecast and bets

1.51 Victoria Robertson

Key moment

This confrontation is a fight. If Robertson can't take down Lemos with regularity, his biggest asset will all but disappear. Without ground control, the Canadian will find it much more difficult to carry out her threat with painful holds or work with strikes from above. Even if the fight ends on the ground, Lemos has solid submission defense and a decent ability to get up quickly. So Robertson shouldn't count on an easy ride. The fight will most likely prove more impactful than the Canadian plans. Still, Robertson has a serious argument: pace. Lemos's age is slowly beginning to take its toll. He still has technical skills, but his activity has decreased noticeably. Our forecast is for Robertson to win in 1.51. Will this forecast come true?
