Mackenzie Dern vs. Jessica Andrade Announced for UFC 295 on Nov. 11

A strawweight showdown pitting Mackenzie Dern against Jessica Andrade is on tap for UFC 295.

The bout was initially announced during the UFC 292 broadcast on Saturday night. UFC 295 takes place on Nov. 11 at Madison Square Garden in New York and is headlined by a heavyweight championship clash between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic.

Dern was successful in her first venture of 2023, as she took a five-round verdict over Angela Hill in the UFC Fight Night 223 headliner on May 20. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt is 8-3 during her tenure with the Las Vegas-based promotion and owns other notable wins against Tecia Torres, Nina Nunes and Virna Jandiroba.

Andrade has already fought four times in 2023. After besting Lauren Murphy to begin the year at UFC 283, the former strawweight champion has lost successive bouts to Erin Blanchfield, Xionan Yan and Tatiana Suarez.
