– Jessica Andrade recently spoke with mmajunkie.com, here are the highlights…

On Joanna Jedrzejczyk’s Weak Chin: “Her fight with Claudia (Gadelha) opened up a lot of gaps in her game for us. Joanna has a weak chin. She was knocked down with a jab. Who gets knocked down with a jab? Joanna. So I think it’s a good area for us to work at. “And we see the girls don’t like to strike with Joanna. They take the first punch and then get lost and don’t know what to do anymore. So I think striking would be a good thing to work with Joanna, always looking to hit her chin to see her fall.”

On Being Stronger Than Claudia Gadelha: “I did some ground training with Joanna,” Andrade said “I trained with her and she made a comment that I was stronger than Claudia. This just makes me more confident for this fight. I know I can either use the ground or strike with her.”

On Jedrzejczyk’ Not Wanting to Fight Her: “She doesn’t want it,” Andrade said. “She said she won’t, we’re insisting, and she doesn’t want it. “She thinks it’s a very dangerous fight. Her trainer was at the last UFC I fought at, we were at the same corner. He saw me training and I think it scared them even more and now no way she wants to fight.”
