Jessica Andrade Says She’s Hoping For a Title Shot After UFC on FOX 28 Win

– Jessica Andrade spoke following her win over Tecia Torres at UFC on FOX 28. Highlights are below, courtesy of MMAjunkie:

On relying on her wrestling skills in the fight: “We knew the takedowns were going to be a very important part of it, and in the end they actually defined the fight. The takedowns, the pressure on top – that got me the win. In the first round, I was a little bit lost with my movement. I couldn’t really find my reach as much as I was expecting to. But as soon as I got the clinch and got the takedowns, I thought, ‘OK, I guess that’s where we’re going to have to do it.’ Although the striking got a little better, and I was able to connect a little bit better later on, for sure the takedowns were going to be the key to get the win, so that’s what I went for.”

On the importance of the win and a possible title shot: “It’s a meaningful win because of her ranking and everything. But we have to wait and see what happens in the title fight. I’m expecting to get a title shot, but with the UFC, you can never be certain. I know we delivered a good show for the crowd and I’m happy with the show we put on.”
