Jéssica Andrade (born September 25, 1991) is a Brazilian female mixed martial artist who competes in the Ultimate Fighting Championship's Bantamweight division.[1] As of January 17, 2014, she is #9 in official UFC women's bantamweight rankings.[2]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Andrade made her professional mixed martial arts debut on September 6, 2011. She won eight of her first ten fights in her native Brazil.

On April 14, 2013, Andrade fought outside of Brazil for the first time when she submitted Milana Dudieva at ProFC 47: Russia vs. Europe in Rostov-on-Don, Russia.[3]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Liz Carmouche was originally scheduled to face former Strikeforce Women's Bantamweight Champion Miesha Tate at UFC on FOX 8, but Tate instead replaced the injured Cat Zingano on the The Ultimate Fighter. Andrade signed with the UFC and filled in against Carmouche at UFC on Fox: Johnson vs. Moraga on July 23, 2013.[4] This marked the first time that two openly gay fighters went head-to-head in the UFC.[5] Andrade lost the fight via TKO in the second round.[6][7]

Andrade's second UFC appearance took place on October 26, 2013 when she faced Rosi Sexton at UFC Fight Night 30.[8] She won the fight via dominant unanimous decision.[9][10]

Andrade was expected to face TUF 18 women's winner Julianna Peña at UFC 171. However, Peña suffered a serious leg injury and Andrade will now face Raquel Pennington. [11]
