Both competitors will have had significant divorce proceedings this year because Dern announced her breakup with pro surfer Wesley Santos earlier this year.
Andrade also shared her candid thoughts about what’s been motivating her busy fighting schedule in 2023 up to UFC 295. She said:
“This year I had my divorce that has taken a lot of my money in paying for lawyers and things here and there, so I ended up taking five fights, It will be over this year, God willing and I’ll be fine. [I fought five times in 2023] because of that, because of the divorce. I had to spend a lot of money with lawyers in Brazil, it’s too much bureaucracy.”
