Jessica Andrade is currently preparing for the 2021 UFC Women's Flyweight Championship against "Bullet" Valentina Shevchenko, and her goal is to win her second class at the UFC, but Andrad's ambitions clearly stop there.
As a former UFC women's grassweight champion, Andrad chose to be promoted to the flyweight competition after losing to Rose Rose in the second game, and the first game was in the first round TKO to defeat former champion challenger Katerina Chukajian, and thus won the championship challenge in one fell swoop.
After andrade's 125-pound success, he won't just stay at one level. She told UFC President Dana Bai, "I don't just play at one level, I'll go wherever I'm needed. If I win the women's flyweight championship, I will go back to the grassweight to beat Zhang Weili and win the double level championship. ”
Andrade knows how hard it is to be a double-tier champion. So far, Lioness Amanda Nunez is the only UFC champion to successfully defend her title in both divisions, and she is the champion of the women's chickweight and featherweights.
It is more difficult to become a double champion of the women's grassweight and the flyweight, because there are more masters in these two levels.
Andrade said, "For Núñez, her double title was relatively easy. At the moment, few players compete in the UFC women's 145-pound featherweight, while in the 135-pound weight division, she only plays one game a year. I can play at least 6 games a year at 115 pounds and 125 pounds, so it's harder. I definitely want to take back the title of women's grassweight championship from Zhang Weili. ”
"Lioness" Nunez defeated the "Mechanical Woman" in 2018 after three defending female chickweight titles. This was followed by a defeat of Holm and Randami in the Chickweights in 2019 and Spencer in the Featherweights in 2020.
Andrade doesn't underestimate the difficulty of becoming a champion, but she also wants to be a women's welterweight champion. "Maybe I'm crazy, but I also want to get the gold belt of the youngweight champion. I want to be a triple crown, a champion at three levels, and that feels great. ”
