Jéssica Andrade (born September 25, 1991) is a Brazilian mixed martial artist who competes in the Ultimate Fighting Championship's Strawweight division. As of February 18, 2017, she is #4 in the official UFC women's strawweight rankings.
Andrade made her professional mixed martial arts debut on September 6, 2011. She won eight of her first ten fights in her native Brazil.
On April 14, 2013, Andrade fought outside of Brazil for the first time when she submitted Milana Dudieva at ProFC 47: Russia vs. Europe in Rostov-on-Don, Russia.
Liz Carmouche was originally scheduled to face former Strikeforce Women's Bantamweight Champion Miesha Tate at UFC on FOX 8, but Tate instead replaced the injured Cat Zingano on The Ultimate Fighter. Andrade signed with the UFC and filled in against Carmouche at UFC on Fox: Johnson vs. Moraga on July 23, 2013. This marked the first time that two openly gay fighters went head-to-head in the UFC. Andrade lost the fight via TKO in the second round.
Andrade's second UFC appearance took place on October 26, 2013 when she faced Rosi Sexton at UFC Fight Night 30. She won the fight via dominant unanimous decision.
Andrade was expected to face TUF 18 women's winner Julianna Peña at UFC 171. However, Pena pulled out of the bout after suffering an injury to her right knee and was replaced by Raquel Pennington. Andrade won the back-and-forth fight via split decision.
Andrade was expected to face Valerie Letourneau on September 13, 2014 at UFC Fight Night 51. However, Letourneau withdrew due to injury and Andrade instead faced UFC newcomer Larissa Pacheco. She won the fight via submission in the first round.
