Jessica Andrade eyes UFC return in Houston against Michelle Waterson or Karolina Kowalkiewicz

Jessica Andrade flew to Las Vegas in December to compete at UFC 207, but the promotion couldn’t find an opponent to step in on short notice after Maryna Moroz pulled out with an injury. Back in Brazil, “Bate Estaca” is training hard to fight as soon as possible.

Undefeated as a strawweight with a pair of finishes over Jessica Penne and Joanne Calderwood, Andrade believes no one wanted to fight her on Dec. 30 because she’s just too good.

"It was bad because I prepared for a long time to fight at UFC 207,” Andrade told MMA Fighting.
