Jessica Andrade is about to defend her Championship for the first time since she won it at UFC 237. However, her former opponent, Joanna Jedrzejczyk, is not at all impressed by Jessica Andrade.
"I know her good side is her wrestling -- the takedowns. Striking was never her good side. She can throw some good punches and some combinations. She is very strong and she is always going forward. I am not impressed, I am not impressed."
She also said that she felt that Andrade's opponent was 'very tough'. She added that she wished Andrade luck and that she felt it would be interesting to see what was going to happen between them.
