Brazilian UFC women's strawweight fighter Marina Rodriguez believes that if she beats Amanda Lemos at UFC Vegas 64, she should be the next challenger for the championship belt.
The perfect scenario is me beating Lemos, and regardless of what Dana White says, I'm going to be the next contender for the belt. The really perfect scenario is my rematch with Carla Esparza. It's the only loss of my career, and by split decision of the judges, in a very close fight. It doesn't matter who I fight, Carla or Weili Zhang, if she wins, as long as it's a championship fight.
