Jessica Andrade: A Review

Jessica Andrade is a decorated former champion going for new gold this weekend at UFC 261. She is also fantastic.

After capturing and losing the strawweight title, Jessica Andrade will get another shot at UFC gold when she faces off against flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 261 this Saturday.

Andrade is the underdog — an understandable status considering that Shevchenko, who hasn’t lost to anyone not named Amanda Nunes since 2011, is also rumored to be a post-human specimen scientifically engineered with the purpose of making the rest of us look dumb — but we at Fanbyte are not here to discuss such technicalities. Yes, winning UFC titles is cool, but it is still not quite as cool as winning what Andrade has already won: Our hearts.

That, of course, is a lie. Belts are very cool. They can spruce up any room. They’re great conversation starters. They’re shiny and pretty. Our stupid hearts are none of that. They clog and beat funny sometimes. They’re frankly quite a hassle. Nevertheless, Andrade has them, and to celebrate this ultimately worthless but well-meaning achievement we have prepared a brief review of Andrade, the human hug.
