Former undisputed strawweight champion, Jessica Andrade has claimed her fellow former 115lbs gold holder, Joanna Jedrzejczyk is interested in making a potential return to the UFC — in the form of a symbolic BMF title fight amongst her female peers, and in particular, a rematch clash.
Andrade, who is currently sporting the number four rank at strawweight — as well as the number six rank in the flyweight division, has been sidelined since she extended her winning run to two straight fights with a split decision win over Brazilian striking compatriot, Marina Rodriguez on the preliminary card at UFC 300.
And returning at UFC Vegas 97 this weekend, Andrade makes her return to the flyweight limit in a bid to land her third straight win — taking on another compatriot, Natalie Silva in a three round clash.
However, according to Andrade, former undisputed strawweight champion, Jedrzejczyk has welcomed the chance to finally make good on a potential return to the UFC — with the Hall of Fame star allegedly interested in taking on the Brazilian for an inaugural women’s BMF title.
“I’ve been talking to Joanna (Jedrzejczyk) and she said she’d come back [to the UFC],” Jessica Andrade told MMA Fighting. “If it’s for this [BMF] belt, she would come back. I think that would be a good fight, Joanna — or maybe Angela Hill, who never walks away from a fight and is always there fighting everyone.”
“Or Valentina (Shevchenko),” Jessica Andrade explained. “Any of those girls would be great, but I think it would be special if it’s Joanna. It would be better.
Headlining UFC 211 back in 2017 against Polish striking favorite, Jedrzejczyk, Andrade unsuccessfully challenged for the undisputed strawweight crown in a dominant unanimous decision defeat.
However, returning to her native Brazil two years later, Andrade landed the undisputed 115lbs crown with a shocking slam KO win over two-time rival, Rose Namajunas to mint herself as divisional champion.
Former welterweight title challenger, Gilbert Burns has claimed it’s “crazy” how his teammate, Michael Chandler remains sidelined from action…
Former welterweight title challenger, Gilbert Burns has claimed it’s “crazy” how his teammate, Michael Chandler remains sidelined from action for so long — particularly with a matchup opposite Conor McGregor failing to materialize so far this year.
Burns, the current number six ranked welterweight contender and former title challenger, most recently featured at UFC 299 back in March, suffering a third round knockout loss to surging Australian contender, Jack Della Maddalena in the pair’s high-stakes pairing.
For Chandler, the Kill Cliff FC staple has been out of action for the last two years, remaining sidelined since he suffered a third round rear-naked choke loss to former interim lightweight gold holder, Dustin Poirier at Madison Square Garden.
And chasing a grudge fight with McGregor in the time since to no avail, Chandler was booked to headline UFC 303 against the Dubliner earlier this summer, however, a toe injury ruled the ex-champion from a comeback to the Octagon.
With Chandler still hoping to secure a fight with McGregor at the welterweight limit before the end of the year — potentially at UFC 310 in December, Chandler has been labelled as “crazy” by his training partner, Burns for chasing the bout still.
“I would never wait that long for any opponent,” Gilbert Burns told MMA Fighting during a recent interview. “I would never wait, especially (at) my age. He (Michael Chandler) just turned 38, too. I would never wait two years. That’s crazy. Even thought it’s Conor McGregor, I don’t care. I would never wait.”
He’s already waiting that long, like you said, I would wait until December,” Gilbert Burns explained. “If the guy shows up, good, we’re here. If not, I think it would have moved on a long time [ago] already.”
Slated to return later this year at UFC Vegas 97, Burns will tangle with fellow grappling talent, Sean Brady in a main event bout in September.
UFC welterweight contender Gilbert Burns is planning to make a statement at Sean Brady’s expense on Saturday night. The pair will headline this weekend’s UFC Fight Night at the Apex in Las Vegas, with Burns tasked with defending his #6 position on the divisional ladder off the back of consecutive defeats.

UFC welterweight contender Gilbert Burns is planning to make a statement at Sean Brady’s expense on Saturday night.
The pair will headline this weekend’s UFC Fight Night at the Apex in Las Vegas, with Burns tasked with defending his #6 position on the divisional ladder off the back of consecutive defeats.
After falling short across five rounds against then-future champion Belal Muhammad in May 2023, an injury suffered in that fight kept “Durinho” on the sidelines until this past April’s UFC 299 pay-per-view in Miami.
Although he was just less than two minutes away from a crucial bounce-back victory on the scorecards, he was the victim of a late comeback from Jack Della Maddalena, who rallied to stop him by way of TKO.
That’s left the 38-year-old in desperate need of a return to winning ways. But more than just rebounding, the Brazilian sees a chance to move to within touching distance of the title against a former opponent of Muhammad’s…
During a recent interview with Kevin Iole, Burns looked ahead to his second Octagon assignment of 2024, detailing his hopes for fight night and what he anticipates coming as a result of a strong display.
Despite losing two on the bounce and slipping outside the top five at 170 pounds, “Durinho” believes the manner of his performance this weekend could determine whether he earns a title eliminator next time out, especially if he can go above and beyond what now-champ Muhammad accomplished at Brady’s expense back in 2022.
“I do believe if I go out there and look phenomenal against Sean Brady, then I get another guy, maybe Leon (Edwards), Colby (Covington), Kamaru (Usman). Then beat one of those guys, then I’m there, on the top,” Burns said. “I do believe if I do my homework this Saturday good, show up there and finish Sean Brady, you know, better than Belal did — if I go out there and after that, for sure rest a little bit, come back with a good training camp and beat one of the top guys, I’m there fighting for the title.”
Burns will look to move closer to his late-career second title shot coming to fruition this weekend by making good on his vow to stop Brady in violent fashion when they headline Saturday’s UFC Fight Night at the Apex.
