A UFC strawweight matchup between Amanda Lemos and Michelle Waterson is reportedly targeted for a July 16th Fight Night event.
News of the in-the-works fight was first reported by MMA journalist Ariel Helwani.
Lemos will make a quick turnaround following her loss to former strawweight champion Jéssica Andrade in a UFC Fight Night headliner just weeks ago. The loss to Andrade snapped a five-fight winning streak over the likes of Angela Hill and Livinha Souza.
Lemos made her UFC debut back in 2017 against Leslie Smith, before undergoing a two-year layoff from competition. She would go on to win her first UFC bout against Miranda Granger in Dec. 2019.
Lemos will face a stiff test in Waterson, who has competed against some of the top strawweight contenders in the UFC. She was slated to face Amanda Ribas in March before suffering a near career-ending injury.
But it appears that Waterson is ahead of schedule with her recovery and will look to snap a losing skid with defeats in three of her last four fights. She most recently suffered a unanimous decision loss to Marina Rodriguez in a flyweight bout last May.
The July 16th Fight Night event will be headlined by a featherweight battle between top contenders Brian Ortega and Yair Rodriguez. The Waterson vs. Lemos matchup will likely be on the main card of the event.
What are your thoughts on the planned Amanda Lemos vs. Michelle Waterson matchup?

UFC strawweight contender Michelle Waterson has to withdraw from her upcoming fight against Amanda Ribas due to a serious injury.
Waterson was supposed to face Ribas on the upcoming UFC 274 card before suffering an injury in her camp. The details of the injury aren’t, clear and it’s also uncertain if she’ll require surgery.
Waterson took to her Instagram to announce the heartbreaking news to her fans.
“I’m hoping, keeping my fingers crossed that it is a short break,” Waterson said. “It’s an injury that stopped me from training, and it’s heartbreaking. I was really excited to fight Amanda. I know she was very excited to fight, as well, so hopefully it’s a fight that we can still have. But if I don’t take care of this injury, it will turn into something that can be worse and career ending.” (h/t Yahoo Sports)
After getting word of Waterson’s withdrawal, Ribas posted a comment on the Instagram video in support of her originally scheduled opponent.
“Heyy Michelle!” Ribas said. “Good recovery for you. Hope we can reschedule soon.”
Waterson has lost three of her last four fights and has had four different fights canceled since early 2020. She fell to Marina Rodriguez via unanimous decision in a flyweight headliner last May.

Michelle Waterson and Amanda Ribas will finally be sharing the Octagon with one another.
Waterson and Ribas were booked to fight one another at UFC 257 in January on Fight Island but “The Karate Hottie” was forced out of the bout. Since then, Ribas has called her out a few times and now according to MMAFighting, they will fight one another on a Fight Night card on March 26. The location of the event has not been announced.
Michelle Waterson (18-9) is coming off a decision loss to Marina Rodriguez back in May, which served as the main event of the card. Prior to that, she earned a split decision win over Angela Hill which was also the main event. The victory snapped her two-fight losing skid after dropping a split decision to Carla Esparza and a five-round main event decision loss to Joanna J?drzejczyk.
Waterson is currently ranked ninth at strawweight and does hold notable wins over Karolina Kowalkiewicz, Paige VanZant, Jessica Penne, and Cortney Casey among others.
Amanda Ribas (11-2) returned to the win column back at UFC 267 as she earned a hard-fought decision win over Virna Jandiroba. In the fight prior, she was knocked out by Marina Rodriguez, who took the fight on short notice after Waterson was forced out of the scrap. The Brazilian is ranked 10th and started her UFC career out 4-0 with wins over Mackenzie Dern, Paige VanZant, Randa Markos, and Emily Whitmire.
Currently, only two fights are official on the March 26 card which sees Jan Blachowicz take on Aleksandar Rakic in the main event at light heavyweight. Sara McMann will also battle Karol Rosa.
Who do you think will win, Michelle Waterson or Amanda Ribas?
