After losing her title to Weili Zhang and then suffering a decision defeat to Rose Namajunas, former UFC strawweight champion Jessica Andrade (20-8 MMA) decided to make the jump to flyweight.

The Brazilian had won 7 of her past eight fights prior to those two most recent setbacks, so many fans and analysts were interested to see if she could rebound in the promotions 125-pound division.

Meanwhile, Katlyn Chookagian (14-3 MMA) had entered tonight’s UFC Fight Island 6 co-main event looking to build off the impressive decision victory she earned over Antonina Shevchenko this past May. That victory was preceded by a TKO loss to Antonina’s sister Valentina at UFC 247, in a bout that served as Chookagian’s first career UFC title opportunity.

Tonight’s UFC Fight Island 6 co-main event did not last long as Jessica Andrade was able to put Katyln Chookagian away with ground and pound after landing a pair of nasty body shots.
