Lemos averages just 1.14 takedowns per fight with impressive 62% accuracy when she does shoot. More concerning for her chances is her 59% takedown defense, which could spell trouble against Suarez’s relentless pressure.

Tatiana Suarez vs Amanda Lemos Predictions And Picks

This matchup comes down to whether Lemos can keep the fight standing long enough to land her knockout shot. Her explosive power and precise striking give her a legitimate path to victory, especially early in the fight when her timing and reflexes are sharpest. The Brazilian has shown the ability to catch opponents coming forward, which could spell danger for Suarez if she’s too aggressive with her takedown attempts.

However, Suarez’s wrestling pedigree and relentless pressure should eventually wear down the Brazilian striker. Her ability to mix takedowns with clinch work against the fence gives her multiple ways to control where this fight takes place. Once Lemos finds herself on her back, Suarez’s top control and submission threats become major factors. The American’s cardio advantage should also play a role if this fight extends into the later rounds.

If we bet on the fight, we are going with Tatiana Suarez to win via submission.
