Before Joanna lost to Namajunas, Bate-Estaca had already asked for a fight with Kowalkiewicz, who recovered from two consecutive defeats against Jodie Esquibel. However, after the underdog Rose overcame the then champion, the Brazilian tried to fight for the title, since, as she had previously lost to Jedrzejczyk, the chances of a rematch were slim and she saw the North American's victory as a chance to have another chance at the belt. . However, the Brazilian will have to get past the Polish woman to continue on the route back to the belt.
Jéssica recovered from her defeat to Joanna at UFC 210 with the best performance of her life, against her compatriot Claudia gadelha, at UFC Japan. After a balanced first round, with an advantage for Claudinha, Bate-Estaca went up and connected hard blows on her opponent, including big falls, running over Gadelha, considered the second best strawweight in the world at the time.
