At least for the immediate future, it appears that Jessica Andrade’s time in the UFC women’s flyweight division has come to a close. The former strawweight champion went 2-1 up at 125, picking up wins over Katlyn Chookagian and Cynthia Calvillo to sandwich an especially brutal loss to Valentina Shevchenko in Andrade’s bid for a second championship belt.
And it would seem that that one loss is likely pushing Andrade back down to her former home at 115—and perhaps the potential for a trilogy title bout against Rose Namajunas.
Whatever the ultimate goal, the first step is set to take place on an April 23rd UFC Fight Night card, where MMA Fighting reports that Andrade has agreed to a fight with rising top contender Amanda Lemos.
