Jéssica Andrade meets Tecia Torres at UFC on Fox 28:

Big match up for 'The Tiny Tornado'.

A potential UFC Women's Strawweight title eliminator has been slated for the UFC's next visit to Orlando, as smothering Brazilian striker Jessica 'Bate Estaca' Andrade faces recent Strawweight up rise Tecia 'Tiny Tornado' Torres. Andrade dominated former title challenger Claudia Gadelha in her last outing, while Torres recently overcame former Invicta FC title holder Michelle Waterson back at UFC 218 in quite impressive fashion.

The 2016 Strawweight mover Andrade has looked the complete package since her drop to 115lbs, decimating Jessica Penne, Joanne Calderwood and also Angela Hill, before coming unstuck against now former queen Joanna Jedrzejczyk in her one and only title siege to date. The Paraná native holds a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but her striking is arguably her most polished weapon. Despite a TKO loss in her UFC bow against Liz Carmouche, Andrade has grown considerably as a mixed martial artist and a decisive victory over Tecia Torres may see her afforded a second shot at UFC gold.

Holding victories over some of the best in Women's MMA today, Karate and Taekwondo black belt Torres has overcome current UFC Strawweight best 'Thug' Rose Namajunas, Felice Herrig, Paige VanZant, Bec Rawlings and in her only professional finish, secured an RNC victory over Juliana Lima. Torres no doubt looked at her brilliant best against Waterson at the start of December on her way to a decision win, with many citing her performance against the one time Invicta FC Atomweight champion, enough to earn a first title tilt in a rubber match with 'Thug' Rose.

It seems whoever gets a finish between Andrade and Torres will await Namajunas next.
