UFC 266: Jessica Andrade open to fighting from 115 to 135 lbs, calls Calvillo bout a ‘test’

Former UFC strawweight champion Jessica Andrade has a lot of plans for her career. Paired up against Cynthia Calvillo for a flyweight bout at UFC 266, ‘Bate Estaca’ has no hopes of scoring a second title shot in the division even with a highlight reel win, but wishes to get at least into contention again.

Although her plans seem to currently be all about fighting for the 125-pound strap again, Andrade does not rule out going back to strawweight at some point, should the opportunity emerge. In an interview with Combate, the Brazilian explained she would have no problem going back and forth between both weight classes, or even bantamweight.
