«I have never fought with someone who is a taekwondo specialist before. This is my first experience, so my strategy is to not give her space for kicks and maneuvers. You need to close the distance and reduce the gap. And also watch her judo throws, which she also likes to use. I will try to use my kicks,» Andrade said.
