Jessica Andrade: Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Claudia Gadelha are ‘jealous’ and ‘want attention’

UFC strawweight champion is tired of hearing Claudia Gadelha and Joanna Jedrzejczyk complaining, as “Bate Estaca” feels they are ‘jealous’ because she is the champion.

Andrade (20-6) knocked out Rose Namajunas with a slam in May of this year to become the new strawweight champion. The win was Andrade’s fourth in a row, with her last loss coming to Jedrzejczyk in May of 2017. Gadelha has since said she thinks Andrade shouldn’t be fighting at 115-pounds as she is ‘too strong’,

Speaking at a media day in Brazil, Andrade labelled Gadelha and Jedrzejczyk’s comments as ‘jealousy’.
