The current challenger for the UFC strawweight title believes she has quite an advantage over champion Rose Namajunas: the power to finish a fight at any given moment with just one shot.
In an interview with Combate just days prior to her second crack at the title, albeit against a different champion, Jessica Andrade did emphasize she is not the same fighter who was dominated by Joanna Ju0119drzejczyk two years ago. However, she also pointed out she has serious knockout power, which ‘Bate-Estaca’ believes will be puzzling for Namajunas.
“We only know if distance and footwork work after the opponent hits you in the face, that’s when we know if it will work,” Andrade said.
