12. Jessica Andrade (0 title defenses as strawweight champion)
It didn’t take too long for [autotag]Jessica Andrade[/autotag] to get another crack at the title.
After losing to Joanna Jedrzejczyk in her first title shot, Andrade won her next three fights to earn a shot at then strawweight champ Rose Namajunas at UFC 237.
Andrade was dominated in the first round-and-a-half by Namajunas, peppered with punches, but she kept coming forward. The first time Andrade tried to slam Namajunas, Namajunas almost made her pay by latching onto a Kimura. But Andrade went right back to it, this time successfully landing the slam, which knocked out Namajunas. Andrade didn’t get to celebrate for long, as she quickly turned around to face Zhang Weili three months later, losing her title in just 42 seconds.
