If you’re looking for hidden gems on this card, take a look at the women’s strawweight battle between Amanda Lemos and another rising star, Alexia Thainara. The latter is a very eccentric and memorable fighter who always brings tons of energy into the Octagon. She’s also on a wild run up the rankings. A win over Lemos might push her close to a title shot.
Miles Johns is getting what could be his final chance to make a mark in the UFC. He comes into his fight with Gianni Vasquez as a last-minute replacement. Johns should fight with purpose and desperation.
