Jessica Andrade added another memorable highlight to her reel on Saturday when she choked out Amanda Lemos in the UFC Fight Night 205 main event. Andrade (23-9 MMA, 14-7 UFC), a former UFC champ, was successful in her return to the strawweight division where she once held gold when she secured the first standing arm-triangle finish in company history against her fellow Brazilian Lemos (12-2-1 MMA, 5-2 UFC) at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, and now she’s right in the thick of the title conversation. Could Andrade find herself in a championship fight in her next outing at 115 pounds with a title rematch between Rose Namajunas and Carla Esparza just two weeks away at UFC 274? Or does she have more work to do? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on Andrade’s future after UFC Fight Night 205.
