Amanda Lemos: UFC 313 win put me 'back in the race' for the strawweight title
LAS VEGAS – Amanda Lemos is not done chasing the UFC strawweight title, and with her latest win, she feels she's back in contention. Lemos (15-4-1 MMA, 9-4 UFC), a former UFC title challenger, defeated young prospect Iasmin Lucindo (17-6 MMA, 4-2 UFC) by unanimous decision on the main card of Saturday's UFC 313. Although it wasn't the most entertaining win, Lemos got her hand raised and was able to put behind her submission loss to Virna Jandiroba last July. 'I think I'm back in the race, and I feel that I'm back in the race,' Lemos told reporters at the UFC 313 post-fight press conference. 'I want to fight as soon as possible to just basically consolidate what I was able to do with this evolution and to go back and go for a championship.' Lemos thinks she's made big leaps on her groundwork, patching up some holes that have cost her fights in the past. The 37-year-old Brazilian wants to be active this 2025, so she can quickly position herself in title contention. 'The year started off in the right foot,' Lemos said. 'I came in here with a win, showing to the division that I've improved where they saw flaws, and I want to fight a couple of times before the end of the year.'

Amanda Lemos: Iasmin Lucindo wants my spot at UFC 313, and 'I'm not going to give it to her'
LAS VEGAS – Amanda Lemos plans on cementing her spot as a top contender at UFC 313. Lemos (14-4-1 MMA, 8-4 UFC) meets rising strawweight Iasmin Lucindo (17-5 MMA, 4-1 UFC) on Saturday's main card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPNews/Disney+, ESPN+). Lemos has lost two of her past three, while Lucindo is on a four-fight winning streak. However, the former title challenger assures that this won't be a passing of the guard. 'I know she's coming off a win. She's an up-and-comer,' Lemos told reporters through an interpreter at Wednesday's UFC 313 media day. 'The biggest thing here is that she wants my spot. I'm not going to give it to her. 'It's good for us – it's good for girls to have that kind of representation. We love to have fighters like that. As far as facing a Brazilian, I'm used to it all the time. I'm very ready to defend my spot and to face her.' After getting submitted by Virna Jandiroba in her most recent outing at UFC on ESPN 60 this past July, Lemos said she lost to herself. She explained what she meant by that after taking some time off. 'I said that because I really had prepared well for that fight,' Lemos said. 'I felt like that was a slip. I really wanted to work on the mistakes. I wanted to take some time off for myself as well. I was in a little cocoon for a second there to prepare better for this fight and to be ready for this one.' For more on the card, visit MMA Junkie's event hub for UFC 313.

No charges against Sunnyvale officer in deadly shooting of teen
The Brief Sunnyvale officer who fatally shot 19-year-old will not be criminally charged Emmanuel Perez Becerra had knife with 7-inch blade Federal lawsuit filed by his parents ongoing SUNNYVALE, Calif. - A Sunnyvale police officer will not be criminally charged for fatally shooting a 19-year-old man who was armed with a kitchen knife, Santa Clara County prosecutors said Friday. Officer Kevin Lemos was legally justified in shooting Emmanuel Perez Becerra at a mobile home park in March 2024, said Deputy District Attorney Rob Baker. What we know Prosecutors reviewed body-camera video and cell-phone video in reaching their decision. Lemos is heard on body-camera video repeatedly telling Perez Becerra - who was naked from the waist down - to drop the knife, which had a 7-inch blade. "I'm telling you, stop right now! I'm going to shoot you if you don't stop! Stop right there!" Lemos says as the teen continues walking toward him. Moments later, the officer fires two shots. Authorities said Perez Becerra called 911 on himself and later forced the officer to shoot him despite repeated warnings for the teenager to stop. Prosecutors said Perez Becerra had been struggling with depression and schizophrenia for years. Adante Pointer, an attorney who filed a federal civil rights lawsuit on behalf of the teen's parents against Sunnyvale last month, said Friday that he disagrees with city's contention that this was "suicide by cop." There's no evidence to support that," Pointer said. " That is an uncorroborated and unsupported assumption made by the police to justify their actions, trying to retrofit what they did." Pointer added, "Opposed to an officer trying to provide assistance to a young person who's in crisis, they shot their way out of a situation." The attorney said police should have used other tactics in dealing with the teenager. "He was in a mental health crisis, OK?" Pointer said. "That happens every day. You're just not supposed to die, when you're in one and you're looking for help." What they're saying In a court filing last week, attorneys for the city denied the allegations in the lawsuit. But they wrote, "The knife-possessing Mr. Perez Becerra quickened the speed with which he was approaching Ofc. Lemos. Further admitted that only after all these actions by Mr. Perez Becerra, and in response to this deadly threat, Ofc. Lemos fired two shots in self-defense and/or defense of others." The department said Friday that it takes any loss of life "very seriously" and acknowledged the DA's findings that supported the officer's actions. Lemos has since returned to full duty.

Sunnyvale officer who shot and killed naked man with knife did so lawfully, DA says
(KRON) — A Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety officer who shot and killed a half-naked 19-year-old man rushing at him with a knife last year did so lawfully, according to a report from the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office. In the initial incident, police responded to a 911 call on March 23 last year reporting a man walking around with a knife. The caller, it turned out was the man with the knife, identified as Emmanuel Perez-Becerra, 19. He was wearing only a shirt at the time and was naked from the waist down. Officers responded to the scene at the intersection of Calle Alicia and Calle Anita. Initially, the officer remained in his vehicle and ordered the subject to drop the knife using the vehicle's PA system. Zizians killings investigation: Who's who Officials identify suspect in stabbing death of Cal Fire captain Perez-Becerra, the DA said, ignored this and kept walking north on Calle Alicia. The officer exited his vehicle, drew his firearm and pointed it at Perez-Becerra, again ordering him to 'Drop the knife.' Perez-Becerra refused orders from the officers to drop the knife. He also ignored a warning that he would be shot, the DA said. Officers tried to avoid the use of force by maintaining a safe distance from the subject. However, Perez-Becerra rapidly advanced toward Sunnyvale DPS officer Kevin Lemos, the DA said. Lemos fired two rounds from his department-issued sidearm. Both rounds struck the subject in the chest, killing him. 'This incident is unquestionably heartbreaking for both the officer and the decedent's family,' read a report from Deputy DA Rob Baker. 'The evidence strongly suggests that Perez-Becerra may have committed 'suicide by cop' due to a years-long battle with depression and schizophrenia. His own actions and behavior, however, placed Officer Lemos in the unfortunate situation that left him, in the words of an independent bystander, 'no choice' but to use lethal force.' In the report, Officer Lemos explained that he followed Perez-Becerra to 'keep eyes' on him, believing he was a danger to the public, based on the day and time, the officer said, it would have been common for adults and children to be out and about in the area. An autopsy report on Perez-Becerra, the DA said, noted he had been diagnosed with depression and schizophrenia following six years of suicidal ideation. He had been subjected to both voluntary and involuntary Emergency Psychiatric Services holds at least twice in the year leading up to the shooting. Last month, Perez-Becerra's family filed a federal civil rights lawsuit in connection to the shooting. His parents and their lawyers maintain that officers did not follow protocol and that using a firearm on the 19-year-old should have been a last resort. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
