Jessica Andrade will mark her name in the history of Brazilian MMA this Saturday (27). “Bate-Estaca”, as she is known, will be the first Brazilian to fight in Ultimate. She faces Liz Carmouche at UFC on FOX 8, an event that will take place in the city of Seattle, in the United States. In the main attraction of the night, Demetrious Johnson defends the mochaweight title against John Moraga.
The Brazilian, who has a record of nine wins and just two losses, hopes to start her participation in the UFC on the right foot. “I'm very happy and I think it will be a great responsibility, but I'm at peace. I know what to do when I get there and that makes it easier”, said the woman from Paraná, who divided her time between activity in the fields, during the day, and training at night.
Flyweight title fight
Despite the debut of the first Brazilian in the Octagon, all the attention at UFC on FOX 8 will be focused on the flyweight title fight. Demetrious Johnson, the organization's least popular Ultimate champion, preaches humility to live a long life within the event.
“I became champion, but you have to stay humble because I know that if I lose my next fights, things could change drastically. So I remain humble, I train a lot”, said Mighty Mouse, as the champion is known. “I try to stay smart, live within my limits and keep training. I see every fight as a fight”, he analyzed.
