The strawweight division was put on notice after Jessica Andrade (15-5) dispatched Jessica Penne at UFC 199, and now the upper echelon is on red alert. Andrade walked through Joanne Calderwood (11-3) at UFC 203 without much issue.
I'm expecting apologies from everyone that disagreed when I said that Andrade was going to maraud her way to a fight with Joanna. #UFC203

Calderwood fought a smart fight. She opened the fight trying to establish her distance. Calderwood utilized leg kicks and a long jab. Andrade timed Calderwood to dart inside and score with strikes of her own.
