The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) made its way to Orlando, Fla. over the weekend for UFC on FOX 28. With the highly anticipated fight card now in the books, the time has come to see what UFC fighters had to say about the night’s co-main event.
UFC on FOX 28 went down on Saturday night, Feb. 24. Inside the Amway Center, UFC strawweights Jessica Andrade and Tecia Torres stepped within the octagon for the night’s co-headliner.
Andrade dealt “The Tiny Tornado” the second defeat of her mixed martial arts career in an incredibly intense octagon war. The two MMA warriors put everything inside the cage, with the fight ultimately going the distance.
In the end, Andrade earned a unanimous decision over her opponent. Check out what many fighters had to say about the match up in the Twitter posts below:
Andrade looks like the viscous antagonist in an all female version of “Rocky”.

Andrade is overly confident in her chin… but Torres seemed to be slowing a bit at the end of that round… #ufcorlando

Big slam by Andrade to end the round she might have lost otherwise. #UFCOrlando

Andrade is strong AF! I think any other lady in that position gets taken down with those leg traps by Torres. Great fight. I have it a very close 1 RD a piece. #UFCOrlando

Another great fight. Fox has to be happy with this card. Hopefully casual fans are watching because there is no way they aren’t entertained.
