Born in Alaska, Lauren Murphy had the opportunity of a lifetime in September 2021 when she fought for the flyweight title. However, she lost by technical KO to Valentina Shevchenko from Kyrgyzstan.
Murphy did not fight again for almost a year due to some scheduling and Covid-19 problems. She returned to the octagon last July and defeated former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate by unanimous decision.
Eight of her wins have been by KO/TKO —seven by decision and one by submission. Four of Murphy’s five losses have been by judges’ decision, proving that she is not easy to knock out.
Jessica Andrade
- Odds: -500
- Record: 23-9-0
- Age: 31
- Height: 1.55
- Weight: 56 kg
- Reach: 157 cm
Andrade is Brazilian, ranked No. 6 in the flyweight rankings, and has been a professional since 2011. Bate Estaca, as she is nicknamed, has fought for a UFC title four times. In May 2017, she lost to Joanna Jedrzejczyk at strawweight by unanimous decision. Two years later, she defeated Rose Namajunas by KO in the second round for the strawweight title, which she lost in her first defense by TKO in the first round to Weili Zhang.
Andrade faced current champion Shevchenko at flyweight in April 2021 and was defeated by technical knockout in the second round (elbows). Since then, she has a record of 2-0, and in April 2022 she defeated Amanda Lemos by submission in the first round.
JefeBet Prediction
Andrade will have the support of her audience, which, added to the fact that she is going through her best moment and youth, means she can categorically defeat Murphy through her specialty: submission.
Prediction: Jessica Andrade wins by submission.
