Here's the match video of Jessica Andrade vs Katlyn Chookagian from last night's UFC show in Abu Dhabi. This is Jessica's debut at Flyweight. Katlyn is the #1 contender though she has already lost a title fight. Obviously she wants another shot. But if Jessica wins, she will get that title shot. Though Katlyn is much taller than Jessica and has a significant reach advantage, I didn't think she would be able to keep Jessica at bay for three rounds. Jessica wastes no time closing the distance and Katlyn is already backpedaling. She's in trouble already. Jessica lands a body shot that sends Katlyn running to the other side of the cage. Jessica hunts her down and lands a knee. And then instead of going headhunting, she lands another body shot and the ref stops it. Jessica said afterwards that she deliberately went after Katlyn's body because her weight cut leaves her vulnerable to body shots. Jessica is the first female fighter to win in all three UFC weight classes. She got a performance bonus. And she's going to get that Flyweight title shot. Katlyn has been talking retirement recently. That time may be now. Enjoy the video!
