Overview
- Andrade says she has been doing app-based food delivery and small renovation work while rehabbing a shoulder injury she suffered in her loss to Loopy Godinez in August 2025.
- She told Direto de Vegas that past U.S. tax problems from her 2023 fights are being resolved and that she will not move forward with a previously considered lawsuit against former manager Gilliard Parana.
- The 34-year-old is a long-tenured UFC veteran and former strawweight champion who has fought about 30 times for the promotion since 2013.
- Andrade framed the side work as practical and dignified, saying she is 'not afraid of hard work' and that odd jobs help her stay financially stable while she recovers and waits for a return fight.
- Her situation underscores wider questions about fighter pay and income stability in MMA, and it may renew attention to how athletes balance training with outside work when injuries interrupt fight pay.
