After losing the title fight against the then champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk at UFC 211 in May this year, Andrade achieved the biggest victory of her career by dominating her compatriot Claudinha gadelha at UFC Japan in September. With Joanna's defeat to the new champion Rose namajunas, the Brazilian tried to put herself in a title fight, but she will have to get past Torres first.
Representative of the 20th season of The Ultimate Fighter, who crowned Carla esparza as the first UFC strawweight champion, Tecia torres comes from three consecutive victories, lining up Michelle Waterson, Ju Thai and Bec Rawlings. The only official defeat of his career came against Namajunas, whom he had previously beaten. If it goes through Bate-Estaca, the trilogy with the current champion, which was even speculated for UFC 221 in Australia, should happen, as Jedrzejczyk is close to moving up a category.
