UFC 298 will witness the #3 ranked strawweight fighter Amanda Lemos take on the #7 ranked fighter Mackenzie Dern next. Lemos was previously scheduled to take on Tatiana Suarez at the same event. However, the fight got canceled at the last moment.

‘Amandinha’ has competed at both the strawweight and bantamweight divisions and is one of the most competent fighters on the roster. Apart from her massive success in the world of MMA, the 36-year-old is also known for being devoted to her family. Here’s a detailed look into the family of the #3 ranked strawweight fighter in the division.

Karina Ximenes: Amanda Lemos partner

Speaking of Amanda Lemos’s partner, the 36-year-old refrains from sharing many details about her married life on public platforms. Nevertheless, it is known that she is married to fellow Brazilian Karina Ximenes. Ximenes works as an interior designer and specializes in the work of decor and aesthetics. Lemos’s wife is believed to have been with her since her beginning and has helped her rise from the ranks in the Brazilian MMA circuit. The couple also has a daughter, Rebecca, whom they had adopted a few years back.

The couple is reported to live with their daughter in Belem, Brazil, and also with their other close relatives. Apart from being an interior designer, Ximenes is also a fitness enthusiast and is very disciplined about her eating methods. She also takes care of the UFC Fighter’s diet and also helps her with her weight cuts.

While the duo refrains from sharing much information regarding their private lives, there have been a few instances where the couple has posted pictures together. Ximenes often takes out time to share her feelings for Lemos and her Instagram post is proof of that.

Karina Ximenes’ heartfelt message to her partner 

Amanda Lemos holds a professional record of 13 wins, 3 losses and 1 draw. During her journey, her wife has been a constant support for her. The interior designer shared a heartfelt message for her partner, after one of her victories which shows the affection among the couple.

Amanda Lemos has yet to wrap the strawweight title around her waist. She previously could have won the belt but failed to dethrone the current champion, Zhang Weili. However, with such a massive support system working behind her, we hope that the 36-year-old will get back to winning ways and go for the title again.
