Jéssica Fernanda da Costa Andrade[8] (born September 25, 1991) is a Brazilian professional mixed martial artist.

[10] Andrade and her older brother Fernando worked at their parents' plantation fields throughout their childhood until the farm was municipalized, leading to the prohibition of underage labor.

[3] Her teammates coined the nickname bate estaca (piledriver), a term used in Brazil for body slams (also known as Daki age),[11][12] after one of her first amateur BJJ competitions, when Andrade was caught in an armlock, she panicked and performed the illegal move on her opponent by lifting her and then slamming her head directly into the mat.

[24] As the first bout of her new four-fight contract, Andrade was expected to face Valérie Létourneau on September 13, 2014, at UFC Fight Night 51.

[25][26] However, Létourneau withdrew due to an injury and Andrade instead faced UFC newcomer Larissa Pacheco.

[32] Andrade made a quick turnaround, as she replaced an injured Liz Carmouche to take on Raquel Pennington at UFC 191.

[35] Andrade then faced former title challenger Jessica Penne at her new weight class on June 4, 2016, at UFC 199, winning the one-sided bout via TKO in the second round.

[38] As the first bout of her new eight-fight contract, Andrade was scheduled to face Maryna Moroz at UFC 207 on 30 December 2016.

[39][40] Nevertheless, Moroz withdrew from the bout citing an injury and Invicta FC Strawweight Champion Angela Hill was briefly linked as a replacement.

[42] Subsequently, Andrade was removed from that card with the pairing left intact and rescheduled to take place at UFC Fight Night: Bermudez vs.

[45] Andrade faced Cláudia Gadelha at UFC Fight Night: Saint Preux vs. Okami on September 23, 2017.

[56] In the first defense of her title, Andrade faced Zhang Weili on August 31, 2019, in the main event at UFC on ESPN+ 15.

[63] On the heels of two consecutive losses at strawweight, Andrade fought Katlyn Chookagian in a flyweight bout on October 18, 2020, at UFC Fight Night: Ortega vs.

[64] Andrade defeated Chookagian by technical knockout in the first round to become the first woman in the UFC to win in three different weight divisions (bantamweight, strawweight, and flyweight).

[71] She won the fight via a standing arm-triangle choke in round one, marking the first time this submission has been landed in UFC history.

[74] Andrade, replacing Katlyn Chookagian, was scheduled to face Manon Fiorot on September 3, 2022, at UFC Fight Night 209.

[75] However, Andrade withdrew in mid July due to undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Fiorot's original opponent Chookagian.

[79] Andrade faced Erin Blanchfield, replacing Taila Santos on February 18, 2023, at UFC Fight Night 219.

[84] Andrande, replacing Virna Jandiroba, faced Tatiana Suarez on August 5, 2023, at UFC Fight Night 226.
