Andrade is looking forward to the fight with Silva because the 27-year-old rising star brings a completely different skill set to the Octagon that Jessica hasn't encountered before.

«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.

The Latin American won a fight against her compatriot Gaby Marcal Silva (submission, first round). Natalia's winning streak is 11 fights. In her last fight in February 2024, she defeated another Brazilian representative Viviane Araujo (unanimous).
