Jessica Andrade plans on shutting down any doubters by sealing her second win against Rose Namajunas at UFC 251.<\/p>\n

The fighters first faced off at UFC 237 when Andrade managed to score a TKO in the second round. Many felt the strawweight’s statement knockout win was a fluke. Now, the 28-year is old is ready to prove naysayers wrong for a second time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if [Namajunas] thinks [it was a fluke], but I know she really wants this rematch; she wants to show she\u2019s has gotten better and evolved, that she has what it takes to beat me,\u201d Andrade said to MMA Fighting<\/a>. \u201cThere are a lot of American fans and a lot of Brazilian fans that say it was luck, but I know it wasn\u2019t luck. I was ready for all that. I knew what I had to do in the fight and how it would go down. If I hadn\u2019t won that way [the win] would have come any other way, the next round, or even the next one.”<\/p>\n

Their anticipated rematch will take place on the main card of UFC 251 on July 11 in Abu Dhabi. Jessica Andrade doesn’t know what to expect from her opponent and credits Namajunas for channelling her inner strength.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what goes inside Rose\u2019s mind, but she has this strength inside of her to prove herself, to evolve after every fight. She has this desire to get better and win every time she stumbles. I believe she\u2019s coming to prove that by fighting me.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it was lucky, she will be able to beat me, and if it wasn\u2019t, I\u2019ll win \u2013 and the mutual respect continues.\u201d<\/p>\n

In her last Octagon appearance, Andrade suffered a TKO loss<\/a> in just 42 seconds against the current strawweight champion, Weili Zhang. Losing the belt to the Chinese standout forced “Bate Estaca” to reconsider her fight strategy for future performances.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve envisioned this fight ending in many different forms,\u201d Andrade said. \u201cBy points, by knockout, by submission. But, in my head, a knockout would be way cooler. That\u2019s what people love to watch, and that would give me an opportunity to win a bonus as well [laughs]. Any type of knockout. A kick, a punch\u2026 I\u2019ve been training many things. I\u2019m more mature, more experienced, and calmer than my last fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

If she can prove doubters wrong and evolve in her rematch fight against Rose Namajunas, Andrade is confident she can set herself up for a title shot bout against Zhang.<\/p>\n

\u201cI changed my entire strategy, changed the way I fight,\u201d Andrade said. \u201cI\u2019m still aggressive and strong, but I changed the way I walk, the way I move. This will be my way of proving I\u2019ve gotten better and I can fight Zhang Weili again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
