Going up against a veteran fighter like Amanda Lemos is not everyone’s cup of tea, but Iasmin Lucindo was eager to take on the challenge at UFC 313. The 23-year-old fighter tried everything in her arsenal to find her moment against Lemos. However, at the end of the day, experience prevailed. But wait—something strange happened during the fight. What, you may ask? Well, it appears the fight was stopped with seconds remaining in the final round.

The former title challenger, Lemos, executed takedown after takedown against the rising talent to secure a unanimous decision victory. A barrage of takedowns and amazing ground control helped the veteran to clinch the victory against the youngster. But after seeing comebacks like Leon Edwards’ against Kamaru Usman, why would anyone stop a fight a few seconds early?

Their clash had seven seconds left when the promoters rang the bell. Both fighters stood up and congratulated each other; however, Jon Anik couldn’t help but comment on the issue.“Seems like maybe the commission had seen enough,” said Jon Anik. Well, the commentator is not the only man who was sarcastic about it.

Taking to the X platform, the MMA community unleashed hellfire on UFC CEO Dana White and the fighters, demanding better matchups for the main card.

Fans react as Amanda Lemo vs Iasmin Lucindo at UFC 313 takes a bizarre turn

Dana White never intended to bring the women’s division to the UFC until Ronda Rousey became its face. After Rousey’s departure, things began to change, as no other female fighter had shown enough potential to fill her shoes. Reflecting on this, a fan wrote: “No problem with them doing that at all. It was time to end that one.” Furthermore, a frustrated fan asserted that the UFC should end boring fights ahead of the conclusion, “I hope this becomes the norm for boring fights.”

Moreover, a fan sarcastically emphasized that Dana White might have had enough of WMMA in the main card, “Dana has seen enough.” 

Interestingly, former bantamweight champion, Sean O’Malley in one of his statements emphasized that Dana White should make a WUFC specifically for girls, “We’re talking from a pure entertainment point of view. Look at the WNBA, look at the NBA. There is a few girls fights that are very entertaining. There is a few.” Years later the fans might be agreeing with it, “Lmao keep the women off the main card please'”

Last but not least, according to a fan, Amanda Lemos vs Iasmin Lucindo was one of the most disappointing fights ever, “One of the worst fights i ever seen in my life.”
