Strawweight contenders Jessica Andrade, Tecia Torres meet at UFC on FOX 28
A key strawweight bout between Jessica Andrade and Tecia Torres is the latest addition to February’s UFC on FOX 28 lineup.
UFC officials today announced the bout between Andrade (17-6 MMA, 8-4 UFC) and Torres (10-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) via Orlando Sentinel.
UFC on FOX 28 takes place Feb. 24 at Amway Center in Orlando. The event airs on FOX following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass, though the bout order hasn’t been finalized.
Andrade, No. 3 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA strawweight rankings, previously was reportedly set to fight Karolina Kowalkiewicz at the event. UFC officials called that information erroneous, and she now is confirmed for a different matchup. The former 115-pound title challenger is coming off a thrilling unanimous decision win over Claudia Gadelha at UFC Fight Night 117 in September, helping her rebound from a title-fight loss to then-champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk at UFC 211 in May.
No. 5-ranked Torres is riding a three-fight winning streak, which is among the longest in the weight class. She beat Bec Rawlings, Juliana Lima and most recently Michelle Waterson at UFC 218 this month, during her run.
The latest UFC on FOX 28 card now includes:
- Jessica Andrade vs. Tecia Torres
- Jake Collier vs. Marcin Prachnio
- Olivier Aubin-Mercier vs. Gilbert Burns
- Alan Jouban vs. Ben Saunders
- Gadzhimurad Antigulov vs. Aleksandar Rakic
