Weili will look for the first successful defense of her second title reign when she takes on the dangerous Amanda Lemos on Saturday.
Amanda Lemos (13-2-1D)
Amanda Lemos had a five-fight win streak snapped in a submission defeat to Jessica Andrade last year. 'Amandinha' rebounded in impressive fashion with back-to-back finishes of her own.

Da'Mon Blackshear (14-5-1D)
After a first-round submission win over Jose Johnson at last week's Fight Night card, Da'Mon Blackshear will make a tremendously quick turnaround to fill in for an injured Cody Garbrandt. 'Da Monster' will be seeking his third straight finish as he takes on a streaking opponent this Saturday.
