Link Copied!Jessica Andrade grew up working on her parent’s farm in the city of Umuarama in Parana
sporty kid and so good that she got into soccer and futsal (five-a-side soccer) as a young teen
When she was offered a place at a Sao Paulo club
her parents forbade her from moving to the Brazilian metropolis
While this decision would cut her soccer career short
it would prove consequential as she changed her focus to another sport
Ahead of her UFC 300 clash against Marina Rodriguez this Saturday
we take a look at ‘Bate Estaca’s coaches and martial arts background
After her soccer and futsal aspirations were cut short
Jessica Andrade would start training in judo in school

and work ethic she had cultivated since she was a child by working on the farm and other odd jobs
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES – JULY 12: Rose Namajunas battles Jessica Andrade in their strawweight fight during the UFC 251 event at Flash Forum on UFC Fight Island on July 12
Her first taste of professional mixed martial arts would come at the Gracie Humaita in the city of Umuarama
her martial arts career took a pivotal turn when she moved to Niteroi
she would start training at the Parana Vale Tudo in 2013
It is here that she would become the fighter she is today
and continue to be her training ground to this day
and helped her become a UFC Women’s Strawweight Champion
who serves as her head coach and cornered her for nearly all of her MMA career
Jessica Andrade is coming off an absurd 2023
where she fought five times and lost three of those bouts
last year is not necessarily representative of her career since she did so because she had bills to pay and chose to take as many fights as possible
the 32-year-old remains one of the most devastating strikers in the promotion
this makes her a dangerous prospect for any opponent
who is more than capable of matching ‘Bate Estaca’ on the feet
Rodriguez is one of the best practitioners of Muay Thai in the UFC and is a devastating and dynamic striker in her own right
Since her ground game is not as good as Andrade’s
her best bet would be to strike with the former champion at range
