Former strawweight champion Jessica Andrade is set to face Jasmine Jasudavicius at UFC 315, a matchup that surprised her as well as observers. While Andrade enjoys fighting at flyweight, she expresses a desire to return to strawweight, especially for a title fight against fellow Brazilian Virna Jandiroba, which she declined. However, Andrade views her upcoming match as a good opportunity, stating that she may have been paired with Jasudavicius due to her ability to present a challenge in the octagon.
I really feel good at flyweight, it feels good on my body, and I like fighting at 125lbs. I really want to go back to 115.
They offered me Virna. We're friends, but we're only going to be fighting each other if it's for a title or for the chance to go for a title.
I don't know why the UFC put me together with Jasmine, but maybe because I'm a challenge and I offer a good skill-set.
I want to go back to 115 eventually, but this is a good opportunity. I feel good on 125, but I will only fight Virna if it's for a title.
