"ROUND 1: The fight started in an open stance matchup and Suarez got her kicking game going early to push Lemos to the fence. Around a minute and 20 seconds in, Suarez shot her first takedown attempt, but the Brazilian stuffed it. With both fighters clinching along the fence, a low blow from Suarez put a momentary stop to the bout."
"ROUND 2: Lemos came out in the second round and threw a couple hard kicks to Suarez's lead leg. Feeling the pressure, Tatiana then blitzed forward to push her opponent back to the fence and force a clinch. The Mexican-American got the Brazilian down for a few second, but an improved Lemos found her way back to the her feet. Halfway through the round, Suarez finally took Lemos down in open space."
Tatiana Suarez and Amanda Lemos met at Noche UFC in San Antonio in a matchup between former strawweight title challengers. Suarez established range with kicks, repeatedly pursued takedowns, and used clinch control and chain wrestling to secure top position in the opening round. A low blow briefly halted action early. In round two Lemos landed leg kicks and showed increased defense, escaping several takedowns and two choke threats, including a ninja choke attempt. Suarez kept pressure with top control and threatened a guillotine while burning clock. Lemos increased aggression in the third round seeking a finish before the text cuts off.
