Jessica Andrade, one of the most iconic fighters of all time, is going through a rebuilding phase at 31 years old. Unfortunately, things have not gone as expected for the former strawweight champion. In her first fight of 2023, the Paraná native fell by submission to American Erin Blanchfield in a headlining bout at the Fight Night event on February 18th at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
After not achieving the desired flyweight division results, the Brazilian fighter is now returning to the section she once dominated. Despite still being ranked 5th, Andrade aims to remind her fans that she is still one of the best in the category.
Xiaonan Yan
- Odds: -137
- Record: 16-3-0
- Age: 33
- Height: 1,65 m
- Weight: 52Kg
- Reach: 160 cm
On the other hand, after a couple of tough years filled with defeats and injuries, Xiaonan Yan is getting back to her best shape. Ranked 6th in the strawweight division, the Chinese martial artist comes into this next fight after defeating American Mackenzie Dern via unanimous decision in her last bout.
The popular Fury was one of the best prospects that UFC offered in the late 2000s. However, these last few years have brought her first two defeats in the MMA giant. The first one was a technical knockout against Carla Esparza, followed by a split decision loss against Marina Rodriguez.
Now, at 33 years old and with her focus regained, Yan will try to win back the prestigious status with which she began her journey in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The dream of climbing to the top in not over yet.

Considering all of this, at JefeBet, we believe that the good old days will make themselves present again.
