UFC on ESPN: Lemos vs. Jandiroba (also known as UFC on ESPN 60 and UFC Vegas 94) is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that will take place on July 20, 2024, at the UFC Apex facility, in Enterprise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area, United States.[1]
Background
A women's strawweight bout between former UFC Women's Strawweight Championship challenger Amanda Lemos and former Invicta FC Strawweight Champion Virna Jandiroba is expected to headline the event.[2]
A featherweight bout between Dan Ige and Joanderson Brito was scheduled for the event.[3] However, Brito was forced to pull from the event due to a leg injury.[4] He was replaced by Chepe Mariscal.[5] However, Ige withdrew from this bout to serve as a replacement fighter at UFC 303 and it is unknown whether Mariscal will remain on this event.[6]
A women's flyweight bout between Tracy Cortez and Miranda Maverick was scheduled to take place at this event.[7] However, Cortez was pulled from the contest in order to serve as a replacement against former two-time UFC Women's Strawweight Champion Rose Namajunas a week earlier at UFC on ESPN: Namajunas vs. Cortez, after her original opponent Maycee Barber pulled out.[7] Maverick will instead face Dione Barbosa.[8]
