The former UFC strawweight champion (up to 52,2 kg), Jessica Stacker, aims to make history in 2021. After becoming the only woman to perform in three weight divisions, she can also join Amanda nunes with two belts in different categories. This is because the Brazilian should receive a chance at the flyweight title (up to 56,7 kg) against Valentina Shevchenko and, in case of victory, she plans to move down to strawweight for a rematch against Weili Zhang, which took its title in 2019 .

“I told Dana White (UFC president) that now I'm 'floating' and I'll be where they need me. If I win the flyweight title, I definitely want a chance to fight for the belt with Weili Zhang again and maybe become a two-division champion”, said Jéssica, in an interview with the North American website MMA Fighting.

At 29 years old, Jéssica 'Bate-Estaca' Andrade has a record of 21 wins and eight losses as a professional. In August 2019, the Brazilian was knocked out in just 42 seconds by Zhang, at UFC Shenzhen, in China. She also lost her rematch against Rose namajunas, before rediscovering the path to victories against Katlyn chookagian, at UFC Ilha da Luta 6. The fight marked 'Bate-Estaca's debut in the flyweight division and she is already in first place in the rankings, behind only the champion, Valentina Shevchenko.
