The final UFC card of 2025 will unfortunately be one bout lighter after one fighter withdrew just hours before the event kicks off.
Following last weekend’s UFC 323 card that served as the final PPV of the year and of the ESPN era, the UFC closes out its 2025 slate tonight with a UFC Fight Night card headlined by top-ranked flyweight contenders Brandon Royval and Manel Kape.
The event was supposed to feature a total of 13 fights, but unfortunately Amanda Lemos has apparently withdrawn from her strawweight matchup with Gillian Robertson.

Just a few hours before UFC Vegas 112 was set to kick off, Robertson confirmed reports that Lemos had withdrawn from the event with a post on her Instagram.

It’s a disappointing way to close out the year for the Canadian, who is currently ranked at #10 in the UFC’s strawweight division and could have vaulted into title contention with a victory over the #5-ranked Lemos.

“The Savage” has been with the UFC since 2017 and is currently in the midst of her best run with the promotion. Beginning with a second-round TKO over Polyana Viana at UFC 297, Robertson has defeated four-straight opponents and most recently stopped Marina Rodriguez with strikes in May.

David Van Auken first reported the news of Lemos’ withdrawal, and as of yet neither the 38-year-old nor the UFC have provided an update on the situation.

Lemos dropped her UFC debut in 2017 before rebounding with five-straight wins, three of which came via finish. She went the distance with Weili Zhang in a failed strawweight title bid at UFC 292 and has alternated wins and losses dating back to that fight, losing a decision to Tatiana Suarez in her most recent outing in September.

With the unexpected loss of Lemos vs. Robertson, UFC Vegas 113 is set to proceed with 12 fights tonight and officially bring the promotion’s partnership with ESPN to a close.
