Before locking down her opponent for April, former Ultimate Fighting Championship strawweight champ Jessica Andrade targeted foes from 115 pounds all the way to bantamweight.
Despite being the top-ranked UFC flyweight contender, former strawweight champion Andrade decided to return to her original division. On April 23 at UFC Fight Night 205, she will take on fellow Brazilian and 10th ranked Amanda Lemos. In an interview with Sherdog, Andrade explained how she made the decision to return to her old division.
“I was having a hard time finding opponents in the flyweight division,” she said.
