announced<\/a> it was a \u201cmedical issue\u201d for Lemos.<\/p>\nRobertson was first to reveal the news via a post on Instagram Stories.<\/p>\n
The nature of Lemos\u2019 illness is not known.<\/p>\n
This is a major disappointment for both fighters, who could have vaulted to the front of the 115-pound contender line with a win. Lemos is coming off of a loss to Tatiana Suarez and has alternated wins and losses in her past six fights, but that stretch includes a decision victory over current champion Mackenzie Dern from February 2024. Had Lemos earned a title shot, it would have been her second crack at UFC gold after losing to Zhang Weili at UFC 292.<\/p>\n
Robertson has won five of six fights since making a permanent drop down from 125 pounds, including four straight victories. In her most recent outing this past May, Robertson defeated Marina Rodriguez via second-round knockout. Finishes are nothing new for Robertson, who owns the record for the most submission finishes by a woman in UFC history, as well as the most wins inside the distance in the women\u2019s flyweight division.<\/p>\n
