Background
Andrade was born on September 25, 1991, in
Umuarama,
Paraná, Brazil, to farmer parents Julio and Neusa Andrade. She is of
Native Brazilian descent through her great grandmother. Andrade and her older brother Fernando worked at their parents' plantation fields throughout their childhood until the farm was municipalized, leading to the prohibition of underage labor. At the age of 14, she started working at a fish & pay pond and later delivering medicine for a drug store. Andrade grew up playing soccer and

club, but her parents forbade her from moving. During school, Andrade started training judo and shortly afterward, in 2011, jiu-jitsu.
Her teammates coined the nickname ''bate estaca'' (
piledriver), a term used in Brazil for body slams (also known as
Daki age), after one of her first amateur
BJJ competitions, when Andrade was caught in an
armlock, she panicked and performed the illegal move on her opponent by lifting her and then slamming her head directly into the mat. To Andrade's surprise, she was immediately disqualified.
Mixed martial arts career
Early career
Andrade made her professional mixed martial arts debut on September 6, 2011. For the first six professional fights, Andrade trained at Gracie Humaita in Umuarama, but after beating

On April 14, 2013, Andrade fought outside of Brazil for the first time when she submitted Milana Dudieva at ProFC 47: Russia vs. Europe in Rostov-on-Don, Russia.
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Andrade made her UFC debut against
Liz Carmouche, as a replacement for
Miesha Tate, at
UFC on Fox: Johnson vs. Moraga on July 23, 2013. This marked the first time that two openly gay fighters went head-to-head in the UFC. Andrade lost the fight via TKO in the second round.
Andrade's second UFC appearance took place on October 26, 2013, when she faced
Rosi Sexton at
UFC Fight Night 30. She won the fight via dominant unanimous decision.
Andrade was expected to face TUF 18 women's winner
Julianna Peña at
UFC 171. However, Peña pulled out of the bout, after suffering an injury to her right knee, and she was replaced by
Raquel Pennington. Andrade won the back-and-forth fight via split decision.
As the first bout of her new four-fight contract, Andrade was expected to face
Valérie Létourneau on September 13, 2014, at
UFC Fight Night 51. However, Létourneau withdrew due to an injury and Andrade instead faced UFC newcomer
Larissa Pacheco. She won the fight via submission in the first round.
Andrade faced
Marion Reneau on February 22, 2015, at
UFC Fight Night 61. Andrade lost the fight as she was quickly submitted via a triangle choke in the first round.

UFC 191. She lost the fight by submission in the second round.
Move to strawweight
In October 2015, Andrade announced her decision to move to the
strawweight division. Andrade then faced former title challenger
Jessica Penne at her new weight class on June 4, 2016, at
UFC 199, winning the one-sided bout via TKO in the second round.
Andrade next faced
Joanne Calderwood on September 10, 2016, at
UFC 203. She won the fight via submission in the first round.
As the first bout of her new eight-fight contract, Andrade was scheduled to face
Maryna Moroz at
UFC 207 on 30 December 2016. Nevertheless, Moroz withdrew from the bout citing an injury and
Invicta FC Strawweight Champion Angela Hill was briefly linked as a replacement. However, the fight never materialized for that event because of a rule in the UFC's anti-doping policy with USADA. Subsequently, Andrade was removed from that card with the pairing left intact and rescheduled to take place at
UFC Fight Night: Bermudez vs. The Korean Zombie on February 4, 2017.
Andrade won the fight by unanimous decision. In addition, both participants were awarded ''Fight of the Night'' honors.
