Coming off two big wins at strawweight, Jessica Andrade is one step away from a title fight, against the champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk. However, first you need to win one more fight. And the Brazilian challenged other members of the top 5 to a duel at UFC Houston, which takes place on February 4th.

“The UFC told me that Joanna will be ready in April. I want to fight in February and then go back to training to face her as soon as possible. Any fight in the top 5 is good for me. Michelle Waterson ou Karolina Kowalkiewicz would be good options. Has the Angela Hill, Invicta champion, too. Whoever they put in front of me, I will be focused and ready to win”, she commented, in an interview with the North American website “MMA Fighting”.
