On Sunday afternoon, the UFC touched down in beautiful Glasgow, Scotland with UFC Fight Night 113. In the first bout of the 12-fight card, Leslie Smith collided with the debuting Amanda Lemos in a compelling bantamweight booking.
It was a tough night for the debutant, as Smith cranked up the offense with a series of second-round elbows, which she used to earn a violent, TKO victory.

With this win, Smith builds on the momentum of a decision defeat of highly regarded Mexican talent Irene Aldana, and further separates herself from a tough TKO loss to UFC 214 featherweight title challenger Cris “Cyborg” Justino. She’s now 10-7 in sum.
Lemos, meanwhile, loses for the first time as a pro. She’s now 6-1-1 in sum.
