Andrade, who owns victories in three
different weight classes in the Octagon, is coming off a
first-round submission of Amanda
Lemos in a 115-pound clash at UFC Fight Night 205 this past
April. “Bate Estaca” has won three of her last four bouts, with her
lone defeat coming against Valentina
Shevchenko in a flyweight title tilt at UFC 261.
Murphy, meanwhile, rebounded from a title fight loss to Valentina
Shevchenko at UFC 266 by spoiling Miesha
Tate’s flyweight debut in a unanimous decision triumph at UFC
on ABC 3 on July 16. The 39-year-old known as “Lucky” has been
victorious in six of her last seven promotional outings.
