Jessica Andrade attempted to keep her “cool” during a recent incident in her native Brazil, where she was robbed at gunpoint. However, the UFC strawweight champion admits there were moments she feared for her life. Last week, Andrade (20-6 MMA, 11-4 UFC) and her wife, Fernanda Gomes, were driving when their car was stopped by a motorcyclist.
