Andrade (24-10 MMA) will be looking to rebound, this after suffering a submission loss to Erin Blachfield in her most previous Octagon appearance this past February. Prior to that setback, the former UFC strawweight champion was on a three-fight win streak, which included stoppage victories over Cynthia Calvillo and Amanda Lemos.
Meanwhile, Yan Xiaonan (16-3 MMA) was last seen in action in October of 2022, where she earned a majority decision win over Mackenzie Dern. That victory was preceded by back-to-back losses to Carla Esparza and Marina Rodriguez.
