With her “Fight of the Night” win on Saturday night over Angela Hill by unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 104, Dana White said Jessica Andrade will fight women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk at an event to be determined.
Not everyone in the 115-pound division is convinced the former women’s bantamweight fighter from Brazil is doing things the right way. In a post by someone on Instagram comparing Andrade to her UFC 199 against Jessica Penne and her UFC 203 bout with Joanne Calderwood, Calderwood left a comment hinting everything with Andrade isn’t on the up-and-up.
“(Expletive) it. People who use roids need to live knowing they need it. I know she was on it, if not was before and that’s her problem. I’d rather get a loss than cheat.”
Andrade has never failed a drug test in her career. She battered Penne to win by second-round TKO and tapped out Calderwood in the first-round. “Bate Estaca” is 16-5 overall and 7-3 with three consecutive wins since she moved down to bantamweight.
Is it sour grapes by “Jo Jo” or is she on to something? Andrade did look small when she was fighting to bantamweight and could be a case of 115 pounds being a better weight class. But, let’s be clear that is only an accusation by Calderwood.
