SEATTLE – Jessica Andrade will be part of yet another first for the UFC when she makes her debut for the promotion on Saturday. For the first time in the promotion’s history, two openly gay fighters will meet in the octagon when Andrade (9-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) takes on Liz Carmouche (8-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) on the main card of UFC on FOX 8. But as far as Andrade is concerned, it’s pretty much business as usual in Seattle. “Everything I do ends up reflecting on the (gay) community, but it’s not something I’ll hide,” the Brazilian told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) through a translator. “It is what it is. There’s nothing wrong with it, and I’ll keep on doing (what I’m doing).” Carmouche made her UFC debut in February against Ronda Rousey in a women’t bantamweight title fight – and she gave Rousey the biggest scare of her career before succumbing, like everyone else, to a first-round armbar
