White: Jessica Andrade ‘definitely’ gets title shot vs Joanna Jedrzejczyk next

Dana White says Jessica Andrade earned a title shot after her UFC win over Angela Hill.

Jessica Andrade won her third straight bout and remained undefeated since dropping down to 115 lbs on Saturday night. She decisively beat Invicta FC strawweight champion Angela Hill in a bout that also won her Fight of the Night honors.

Shortly after the win, she proclaimed herself the unofficial Invicta champion, and asked for a title shot as well.

“Now (I’m) the Invicta champion, uncrowned, but still the Invicta champion,” Andrade said through her coach and translator. “Now, (I’m) coming for the UFC belt, so Joanna, just be ready.”

Dana White was so impressed with her performance, and says she will indeed get the next crack at Joanna Jedrzejczyk.

“Absolutely (Andrade is next),” White said on Fox Sports 1. “When you see the way she fought tonight, just imagine those two squaring off and the absolute war that will be. That’s gonna be a fun fight.”

While they have somewhat different styles, if this exciting bout against a lengthy kickboxer is any indication, there’s a lot to look forward to in Andrade’s title fight with Jedrzejczyk.
