A bunch of guys reported this afternoon that Rose Namajunas vs Jessica Andrade has been added to UFC 249 Apt. 18 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. Of course this is a rematch from when Jessica won the UFC Strawweight Championship. And then Weili Zhang beat Jessica for the title. It was a strange match because Rose was winning until Jessica KOd her with a power bomb. After that it seemed like Rose pondered retirement. We all know Rose has the physical skills and a great coach in Trevor Wittman. But is her head in the game? That will determine if she wins this match. Jessica is coming off of a big loss. I think she would want to make a statement with a win. Whoever wins may get the next title shot.
