Since joining the UFC, ‘Bate Estaca’ has been a consistent member, competing in the bantamweight division before transitioning to the strawweight division in 2016.

In 2020, Andrade ascended to the flyweight division at UFC Fight Night: Ortega vs. The Korean Zombie and also contended for the championship.
