Gillian Robertson Faces Amanda Lemos at UFC Vegas 112 With Title Stakes in View

The bout came together after an opponent change triggered by Iasmin Lucindo’s failed drug test.

Overview

  • Robertson (No. 10) meets Lemos (No. 5) on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas in a featured strawweight matchup.
  • DraftKings lists Robertson as the betting favorite at -198 with Lemos at +164, aligning with many preview predictions.
  • Robertson rides a four-fight win streak and has won six of her last seven, highlighted by a May TKO of Marina Rodriguez that preceded Rodriguez’s retirement.
  • Lemos, 38, is the last fighter to defeat current champion Mackenzie Dern but has lost two of her last three to Tatiana Suarez and Virna Jandiroba.
  • Robertson, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt with the most submission wins in UFC women’s history, says a strong finish would position her for a title shot.
