Jessica Andrade has yet to defend her UFC title but already has started an ambitious plan for her future.

After defeating Rose Namajunas to claim UFC strawweight gold at UFC 237 in May, the Brazilian is set to make her first title defense when she takes on Weili Zhang in the main event of UFC on ESPN+ 15 on Saturday in Shenzhen, China. The card streams on ESPN+ following prelims on ESPN.

Even before the fight, she’s already looking ahead. Andrade (20-6 MMA, 11-4 UFC) wants to take Zhang (19-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) out, then move up to 125 pounds and challenge Valentina Shevchenko for the women’s flyweight title.

“My focus is to beat Weili Zhang and continue to defend in the future,” Andrade told MMA Junkie. “Also, I’d like to move to flyweight for a superfight against Valentina Shevchenko. I think she’s one of the toughest and best fighters of all time. I believe she beat Amanda Nunes (at UFC 215). I like her very much, but it would be very cool if I faced her next.”

But first, she has a stern test in Zhang, who’s undefeated in the UFC and has won 19 fights in a row. Despite Andrade planning ahead, she said she’s not underestimating Zhang and knows she’s in for a test.

“Weili Zhang is a very tough opponent,” Andrade said. “She’s undefeated in the UFC. We have a common opponent in Tecia Torres. It’s going to be a difficult fight. I can’t go easy on her. I have to remain focused and in tune with my strategy. She’s good when striking as well as on the ground. She doesn’t have a wide variety of submissions, but she moves well. She has good ground-and-pound and very good hip tosses.”

With 14 finishes on her resume, Andrade has shown a pattern of aggression in her fights. She plans on being tactful but said she will push forward as always and predicted a finish in the latter rounds.

“It’s a dangerous fight, but I’ll be ready,” Andrade said. “I’ve fought many other dangerous girls. She’s yet another. She has spinning kicks. She kicks to the thigh very well. I have to fight smart. If I stick to my gameplan of being aggressive and moving forward, I expect a knockout win by the third or fourth round. No one should blink. Dana White choose the right fight to headline this card.

In what she expects to be a standup affair, Andrade said she has been sharpening her striking ahead of her first title defense. She plans on showing off her newly minted skills inside the octagon.

“I believe one shouldn’t change a winning team,” Andrade said. “I continue to train at PRVT in Niteroi, Brazil. We brought in an additional muay Thai coach for two weeks to help me sharpen things up again. There are a lot of skills I practice, like head or body kicks, which I end up not using in fights. We worked on increasing my confidence level. We trained four hours of muay Thai in the morning, and three hours in the afternoon. I trained hard so those skills are ingrained – elbows, clinching, etc. Without a doubt, it will be another weapon I’ll bring to my next bout.”
