ANALYSIS
Andrade defeated Mackenzie Dern at UFC 295 in November to break a three-fight losing streak, and she'll look to start building a win streak at UFC 300. Rodriguez is also coming off a victory after beating Michelle Waterson in September.

Pulls upset to snap losing streak
Andrade defeated Mackenzie Dern via TKO (punches) at 3:15 of Round 2 at UFC 295 on Saturday in New York City.
ANALYSIS
The loser of three straight fights, all via lopsided stoppage, Andrade needed a win here any way she could get one. She ended up with a dominating performance, but it's difficult to tell if that was because she looked improved or because Dern was terrible. Jessica had a significant power advantage, which aided by Mackenzie's inability to tuck her chin during the striking exchanges between the two, which resulted in four knockdowns (leading to a high DFS score) and an easy win. Andrade has openly stated she took those previous three fights in just over a five-month span because she was going through a divorce from her wife and had lawyer fees that had to be paid. That said, keep in mind Jessica is now 32 years of age and closing in on nearly 40 professional fights. There's a real chance the days of her hanging with elite competition are over, despite what she did to Dern here. Still, she certainly gets a confidence boost in this one, as well as one of five $50,000 Performance of the Night bonuses awarded on the evening.

Struggles continue in Nashville
Andrade lost to Tatiana Suarez via submission (guillotine choke) at 1:31 of Round 2 at UFC on ESPN 50 on Saturday in Nashville.
ANALYSIS
It's Andrade's third straight loss and the third in a row in which she hasn't been the least bit competitive. Any theoretical edge Jessica may have had in the stand-up was entirely negated by the fact she gave up three takedowns on three Suarez attempts. Andrade knew what was coming, but still couldn't defend it. Set to turn 32 years of age in late September, Jessica should still have plenty of gas left in the tank from a physical perspective, but she needs to pick a weight class and stick with it. She also needs to stop accepting late-notice bouts. Assuming the UFC keeps her around, some time off would seemingly do wonders for Andrade. It has all fallen apart for her in the span of less than six months.
