5 potential opponents for Jessica Andrade following her victorious return to strawweight

#4. Jessica Andrade vs. Tecia Torres

UFC 273: Tecia Torres (right) in her fight against Mackenzie Dern

Though Jessica Andrade is coming off of an emphatic first-round victory, there wasn't immense value attached to Lemos' name as she's one of the fresher faces in the division's rankings, despite her win streak.

Tecia Torres was very close to title contention before Mackenzie Dern put her back in the losing column. Jessica Andrade and 'The Tiny Tornado' have met once before in 2018, and the Brazilian came out as the victor. Both fighters have improved immensely over the years, and though the result could be the same, it would be a much different fight - possibly one that the division needs.

With the strawweight peak quite bottlenecked, this fight, potentially a five-round affair, would instill some certainty in what is a tempestuous section of the UFC roster.

#3. Jessica Andrade vs. the loser of Weili Zhang vs. Joanna Jędrzejczyk

UFC 248 - Joanna Jędrzejczyk (left) vs. Zhamg Weili

This is a rematch that fans have been waiting for. When Jędrzejczyk and Weili first collided, it resulted in 2020's 'Fight of the Year' and one that will go down in history not just for female fighters but for all of MMA.

This is quite the championship trifecta. Both Zhang and Jędrzejczyk have wins over Jessica Andrade. However, the Brazilian defeated current champion Rose Namajunas, who has beaten both Zhang and Jędrzejczyk twice. This shows just how competitive and close the top strawweights are.

'Bate Estaca' having the opportunity to avenge her loss to the loser of this rematch slated for UFC 275 would serve her well and help the division immensely.
