UFC strawweight Jessica Andrade may be the scariest little female on the roster today, and if you weren’t convinced of that fact, last night’s one punch K.O. of Karolina should have done the trick.
Now, with a title shot on her mind, Andrade calls out “Thug” Rose for a December showdown.
“We wanted to make a statement in this fight. We knew standing with Karolina was important, so [I] had private muay Thai classes every day. We were looking for the knockout, it came quicker than expected but it came so all the hard work paid off.
“I noticed I got her a little bit wobbly early into the first round, I just looked for the perfect strike with perfect timing and it ended up [happening].”
“Rose is very versatile, but so am I. Push come to shove, I know technique-wise I’m better than her. Sometimes you gotta just rough it up, and no one roughs it up better than me. You saw what happened when I have a full three month camp. If we can do it in December, you’ll see a new UFC strawweight champion.”
