Fighting Andrade at UFC 283
Murphy is scheduled to face Jessica Andrade in a flyweight bout Jan. 21 at UFC 283 in Rio de Janeiro, Mike Heck of MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
This should be an intriguing battle, as both parties seem to be, on paper, more than equal. Murphy, who previously defeated Miesha Tate via unanimous decision July 16, will be entering the ring trying to seek a two-match winning streak. Andrade will try to extend her streak to three battles with a win.

Gets right back in win column
Murphy defeated Miesha Tate via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC on ABC 3 on Saturday on Long Island.
ANALYSIS
It was an ugly and grinding affair, which is typically the case when Murphy fights. The biggest surprise of the bout was the significant speed edge Murphy seemed to possess over Tate. She got off first in virtually all the striking exchanges between the two women, in addition to landing the only successful takedown of the night. Murphy turns 39 years of age in late July and is extremely limited from an athletic standpoint, but she's experienced and tough as nails and will have no issues defeating opponents who accomplish little inside the Octagon, as Tate did here. Murphy has won six of seven dating back to August 2019, with her lone loss during that span being a title fight against Valentina Shevchenko last September.
