MMA Notebook: Jéssica Andrade Wants a Trilogy Fight Against Rose Namajunas

The flurry of fight weekends continues for MMA fans.

In addition to a highly anticipated title defense from undefeated heavyweight WBC champion Tyson Fury on Saturday, there is a fight night from the UFC and back-to-back shows from Bellator.

UFC’s card on Saturday is headlined by Amanda Lemos against Jéssica Andrade in a meeting of top strawweight contenders. Lemos has won her last five, and a victory here would be a chance to shoot up from the 10th spot in the rankings. But she has never been tested by someone with the seasoning or mettle or Andrade, who is sixth in the UFC’s women pound-for-pound top rankings.
