Jessica Andrade shares nude photo featuring UFC title belt

Yeah, it’s pretty much what you just read in the headline.

On Monday, UFC strawweight champion Jessica Andrade (20-6 MMA, 11-4 UFC) posted a picture with her recently claimed title bet and … apparently nothing else.

Here it is, via Instagram:

The caption in Portuguese reads, “Just a very basic picture for Monday.” Among the hashtags, “now it’s all mine” and a body-positive “perfect body.”

Andrade won the 115-pound title earlier this month, courtesy of a memorable slam knockout of Rose Namajunas at UFC 237. The belt has since been, understandably, one of the biggest stars of Andrade’s social media.

Second time was a charm for Andrade, who’d come up short in her first attempt to take the UFC strawweight title. After losing to then-champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk in February 2017, though, Andrade went on a four-fight tear that culminated with the knockout of Namajunas.

She was quick to offer Namajunas a rematch after their headliner, but with the ex-champ’s future as an MMA fighter still very uncertain, Andrade said that the winner of an upcoming UFC 238 meeting between Tatiana Suarez and Nina Ansaroff could be next.
