Brazilian bantamweight contender Jessica Andrade will test the waters in the strawweight division on June 4 in Los Angeles, as she takes on former world title challenger Jessica Penne in a UFC 199 bout…
Source: Andrade Makes 115-Pound Debut Against Penne | UFC ® – News
This fight is a little suspicious since this is Andrade first attempt to make the 115lbs weight limit for the UFC, most weigh-ins allow one pound over but if this fighters wants to be a contender for the title one day she will have to make sure that she makes 115 nothing over.
Fighters that move down two weight classes, in the past, have always had problems with strength and endurance. They have problems in the later rounds and eventually lose the fight due to being so tired since it was a tough time trying to make weight, unless Jessica Andrade has a great health program along with a strength and conditioning plan all hopes for her to win this fight will be a long shot at best and will be the underdog in this fight.
Penne will have the experience in the Strawweight division and coming off that devastating loss to Joanna Jedrzejczyk by a TKO will be looking for a win to get back in the contender’s spot to make another run at the title in the Strawweight division.
Good luck to both fighters on their upcoming training camps and fight.
