Alexia Thainara vs Amanda Lemos

Alexia Thainara is 3-0 in the UFC, having submitted Molly McCann in the first round and then outpointed Loma Lookboonmee and Bruna Brasil across three rounds each.

Alexia Thainara is 3-0 in the UFC, having submitted Molly McCann in the first round and then outpointed Loma Lookboonmee and Bruna Brasil across three rounds each. Amanda Lemos is 9-6 with a decision win over Mackenzie Dern on her record but losses in her last two, to Tatiana Suarez and Gillian Robertson. The model has Thainara HIGH, the strongest read on the card.

The read

HIGH tier on the top-ranked read of the night means the model sees a clean structural gap: an unbeaten octagon run against a two-fight skid. Thainara's path is the Lookboonmee and Brasil script, controlling rounds and banking them one at a time. Lemos' path is her power and the fact she has already shared a cage with the division's best, which Thainara has not. The tell is the method: the model expects the scorecards, and the scorecards are where Lemos has lost her last two.
