Jessica Andrade should already be next in line for a title shot, but the top strawweight contender still chose to compete at UFC 228 against Karolina Kowalkiewicz. She is risking losing her shot at the belt, but Andrade says that she is keeping active because she needs the money.
In fact, she sells her UFC gear or bakes cakes just to make ends meet and be able to finish this training camp.
“I’m going to my 14th fight in the UFC and it’s really difficult to get sponsors, to get people who want to help you financially,” Andrade told MMA Fighting.
