The challenger for the strawweight title, Jéssica “Bate-Estaca” Andrade, has had valuable help in training to face the champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk, in a duel that takes place on May 13th, at UFC 211. The Brazilian has been getting good tips from her manager, Tiago Okamura, who has already worked with the Polish woman.

“Bate-Estaca” revealed, in an interview with the program “Revista Combate”, that he should use low kicks a lot during the fight, as Joanna would have problems avoiding them and has a “weak leg”, as Okamura confided to him.
“He gave me a lot of strategy tips, where Joanna is weakest. He told me about this kicking part. He gave me some tricks, that was really good. We always have someone else to give us a tip, but it’s always about trusting what your team gives you, the good work your team does”, commented the Brazilian.
Still talking about the strategy, Andrade said that he intends to take lessons from Joanna's fight with the fellow Brazilian Claudia gadelha, which took place in July last year. On that occasion, Claudinha had an advantage at the beginning of the fight, but tired and allowed the champion to dominate the final rounds and keep the belt.
“I'm prepared for anything. I think the difference will be a drop at the end or a grid work at the end. As it is very explosive, it also comes up a lot. I think I'll lock in, always wait for her to come first and work on the counterattack. I'm going to try to do to her what she does against her opponents. The spell returning against the sorcerer. When she fought with Claudinha, Claudinha used her grill and gas a lot in the first rounds. She won the first few, but she didn't count on Joanna being able to last so long until the end, then her gas ran out. But I think you have to dose it”, she analyzed her.
