Racking up an undefeated record of 5–0, she faced Mayra Cantuária for the Jungle Fight Women's Bantamweight Championship at Jungle Fight 85 on January 23, 2016.

Lemos won the title via third-round knockout.[1]

Lemos was scheduled to face Arlene Blencowe at Legend MMA 1 on January 28, 2017.[3] However, Lemos withdrew from the bout and was replaced by Janay Harding.[citation needed]
