Jessica Andrade became the first woman in UFC history to win a bout in three different weight classes with her first-round stoppage of Katyln Chookagian in Abu Dhabi on Saturday night.

By dispatching the most recent flyweight challenger in impressive fashion in the UFC Fight Night 180 co-main event, Andrade immediately emerged as an interesting foil for reigning 125-pound queen Valentina Shevchenko.
