A matchup between former UFC strawweight champion Jéssica Andrade and top flyweight contender, Lauren Murphy, has been scheduled for UFC 283 on January 21 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
MMA Fighting’s Damon Martin and Mike Heck were the first to report the news of the matchup, although the promotion is yet to officially announce anything themselves regarding the bout. Andrade will make her return to 125-pounds and is 3-1 in her last four Octagon outings. She defeated Amanda Lemos via first-round submission in the main event of UFC Vegas 52 in her latest appearance. Murphy on the other hand is 6-1 in her last seven fights and is coming off a unanimous decision victory over former UFC women’s bantamweight champion, Miesha Tate, back at UFC on ABC 3.
