UFC 261 Expert Picks: Can Jessica Andrade be the one to dethrone Valentina Shevchenko?

UFC flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko has looked more or less unbeatable since claiming the title in 2018 -- but she might be facing her toughest test to date at flyweight on Saturday in Jessica Andrade.

Shevchenko (20-3) has a strong hold of the 125-pound division, and she's looked extremely dominant in four successful title defenses. She'll look to keep the streak going at UFC 261 on Saturday in Jacksonville, Florida, against a former strawweight champion in Andrade (21-8).

The Brazilian challenger has only fought at 125 pounds once in the UFC, but the result was a spectacular first-round knockout of veteran Katlyn Chookagian in October. Will the power of Andrade be enough to upset Shevchenko's dominance? ESPN asked several experts for their breakdowns and predictions.
