"First reported by David Van Auken. The last-minute cancellation is a tough blow for Robertson, who stood to gain significantly from a win over Lemos, a former title challenger. Robertson, typically one of the division's most active competitors, with three fights and a grappling match in 2024, will now finish 2025 having competed only once. She'll have to wait until 2026 to rebuild momentum and continue her push toward a title opportunity."
"Lemos closes out 2025 with a 1-1 record. A win over Iasmin Lucindo earned her a spot on Noche UFC, but she ultimately fell short against Tatiana Suarez, dropping a decision. UFC Vegas 112 continues on with 12 bouts: Brandon Royval vs. Manel Kape, Giga Chikadze vs. Kevin Vallejos, Cesar Almeida vs. Cezary Oleksiejczuk, Morgan Charriere vs. Melquizael Costa, Kennedy Nzechukwu vs. Marcus Buchecha"
Amanda Lemos withdrew from her scheduled strawweight bout with Gillian Robertson at UFC Vegas 112 due to medical issues just hours before the fighters were set to enter the octagon at the UFC APEX. The late cancellation denies Robertson a high-value opportunity against a former title challenger and leaves her having competed only once in 2025, delaying her push toward a title shot until 2026. Lemos finished 2025 with a 1-1 record after a win over Iasmin Lucindo and a decision loss to Tatiana Suarez. UFC Vegas 112 proceeds on Dec. 13 with a 12-bout card.
