Rising UFC strawweight Amanda Lemos recently called out her division, but cannot find an opponent. Following her 35-second TKO win over Montserrat Ruiz in her last outing, the Brazilian has been having a hard time finding another woman willing to accept the challenge.

In an interview with Combate, Lemos explained that her heavy hands might be a reason why some athletes will not take her. Although she is on a four-fight winning streak, Amanda says some known strawweights directly turned down a fight with her. Tecia Torres and Yan Xiaonan are namely. Nonetheless, the Brazilian has another name in mind who has not turned her down yet: Nina Nunes.
Lemos said.
“I believe so (I have the heaviest hands in the division). Some girls have volume, but I think I have the heaviest hands in the division. For my next step, I’d like to face someone in the top 10 or in the top 5 again.” Amanda continued. “I’ve been asking and waiting for a response. I’m here to stay. I’ve been delivering and showing why I deserve to be among the best. That’s what I train for every single day. I don’t know what’s going on. I’ve been asking for fights but they won’t give it to me. Tecia Torres turned me down last year. Now Yan Xiaonan didn’t want me either. I don’t know. I’ve been calling them out, but it seems they don’t want to (fight me). There’s someone who hasn’t turned me down yet who I think could make for a good fight, that’s Nina Nunes. I think it would be an interesting fight for the fans. Let’s see what happens.”
