Jéssica Andrade is returning to flyweight for her next UFC fight.
Mike Heck and Damon Martin of MMA Fighting have reported that Andrade and Lauren Murphy are expected to share the Octagon at UFC 283, the upcoming pay-per-view event scheduled for Jan. 21, 2023, at Jeunesse Arena in Brazil.
Following a successful debut at flyweight, Andrade earned a championship opportunity against Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 261, where she suffered a second-round TKO loss. She rebounded with a first-round TKO of Cynthia Calvillo in her next appearance, but opted to return to strawweight recently.
