When Rose Namajunas dethroned then-UFC queen Joanna Jedrzejczyk in New York, it was a historic moment for the strawweight division. Jessica Andrade foresees the same scenario when she challenges — and beats — flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko.
UFC President Dana White all but confirmed “Bate Estaca” is next for the 125-pound belt, saying Shevchenko “needs an opponent that people think actually has a chance of beating her, and I think we all know that Andrade does.”
It’s not yet official that the UFC will move in that direction.
