Gets by veteran in Vegas
Lucindo defeated Angela Hill via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC Vegas 109 on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Lucindo entered this fight as a (-190) betting favorite and 17 years younger than her veteran opponent, and the bookmakers ultimately got this one right. Lucindo did still eat 64 strikes deemed significant in this one (compared to 72 to landed), and was out-landed in Round 2. But the more impactful shots consistently came from Lucindo's side, in addition to a trio of takedowns -- one in each round. She likely would have finished most women with her barrages of hooks, but Hill has an iron chin and has never been knocked out. With the win, Lucindo bounces back from her March loss to Amanda Lemos and will be looking at a top-10 opponent her next time out.

Fighting Hill in August
Lucindo will take on Angela Hill at a UFC event in Las Vegas on August 9, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Lucindo will head into the fight looking to bounce back from her recent defeat at the hands of Amanda Lemos. The 5-foot-3 Brazilian will look to use advantages in both reach and youth against the older Hill. With the two fighters boasting a combined 13-0 professional record in KO/TKO finishes, expect fireworks in this one.

No-shows UFC 313 defeat
Lucindo lost to Amanda Lemos via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC 313 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This was a big test for Lucindo on the main card of a pay-per-view, and she failed miserably. In fact, over the course of the first two rounds, Lucindo was credited with exactly zero significant strikes landed. That is not a misprint, and it's almost impossible to believe. Iasmin finally landed a takedown in Round 3 and picked up some control time to win the frame, but the damage was already done. Lucindo turned just 23 years of age in January and entered on a four-fight winning streak, so it's hard to get worked up about one lousy effort, but the fighter we saw tonight is nowhere near ready for even the fringes of title contention.

Runs winning streak to four
Lucindo defeated Marina Rodriguez via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) at UFC 307 on Saturday in Salt Lake City.
ANALYSIS
This was the rare fight that was so close, it is difficult to get too worked up about the result either way. Having mixed results on the feet, Lucindo made a point to get Rodriguez to the mat. It was a smart idea. She landed 3-of-4 takedown attempts for 4:40 worth of control time, but did little with her positional advantage. She was also stood up by referee Marc Goddard on one occasion for jamming her chin into Rodriguez's eye, an illegal act. Ultimately, two of the three judges felt Lucindo did enough despite the fact she landed just 55 total strikes compared to 65 from Rodriguez. Iasmin has won four in a row.
