Main Card
Jessica Andrade
Jessica Andrade (24-10, 15-8 UFC) has been one of the popular names in the women’s division since making her UFC debut in July 2013. The former UFC strawweight champion has fought the best in the 115-pound division and has proven that she can inflict and withstand punishment and put up a show for the fans. The Brazilian wants to get back to the winning column after losing to Blanchfield in February. The setback broke her three-fight winning streak and a win over Yan would bring her back to the women’s strawweight title talk. She has 17 wins by stoppage, meaning that she is one of the good finishers in her class.
Yan Xiaonan
Yan Xiaonan (16-3-1, 7-2 UFC) had a great start in the UFC since debuting in the promotion in November 2017. The Chinese fighter strung up six straight wins against the likes of Claudia Gadelha, Karolina Kowalkiewicz and Angela Hill. However, she stumbled in her next fight against Carla Esparza, losing via technical knockout in the second round. She lost another one to Marina Rodriguez via split decision in March last year and had another long break before coming back to the UFC and took on Dern. Yan finally had her mojo back in this fight and was able to gain a majority decision win that solidified her status as one of the top contenders in the division.
