Andrade was knocked for going straight forward swinging wild with poor defense, honestly Andrade has never been characterized for having few defensive fundamentals, like Wanderlei style

Props to those that picked Yan. I should’ve stuck to siding with Yan. I didn’t. Andrade came back way too soon after her Blanchfield defeat. Big props to Yan and those that backed her. Andrade was the total square side

I don't understand what happened with Andrade. She was show so big progress of her striking in fight against Murphy. And after that her two next performances is so awful, ***
