"Alexia Thainara holds a significant statistical advantage in grappling pressure and defensive reliability compared to the aging Amanda Lemos. While Lemos brings superior finishing power, her defensive vulnerabilities and higher loss rate against high-level grapplers like Virna Jandiroba and Gillian Robertson make her susceptible to Thainara’s relentless takedown game."

What Everyone Misses

Casual observers focus on Lemos's finishing power, but they overlook that Lemos is 39 and has demonstrated a recurring inability to stop disciplined grappling attempts, which Thainara utilizes at a high rate to control the geometry of the fight.
