Jessica Andrade putting flyweight on hold to commit to strawweight: ‘It’s the division where I became champion’

Jessica Andrade has been going back and forth between flyweight and strawweight in the past few years, but that’s come to an end.

Andrade has decided to put her flyweight career on hold to focus on getting back the belt she once held at 115 pounds. This campaign to focus on one division starts Saturday in the co-main event of UFC on ESPN 50, which takes place at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn.

Andrade (24-11 MMA, 15-9 UFC) takes on undefeated contender Tatiana Suarez (9-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) in hopes to bounce back from a two-fight skid.
