UFC fighter rankings: Jessica Andrade enters women’s flyweight as top contender

The UFC is keeping up their weekly events on Fight Island, with some shows being light on relevance and some actually having an effect on the rankings. Last weekend’s Fight Island 6 card had a little bit of both. The main event win by Brian Ortega didn’t affect his position in the standings. But the co-main was another story.

Former strawweight champion Jessica Andrade decided to go up to 125 pounds (she’s fought at 135 too) to take a fight against top contender Katlyn Chookagian. Andrade made the most of it, brutally stopping Chookagian late in the first round via TKO.
