Jessica Andrade is staying busy during MMA hiatus <\/h2>\n

Jessica Andrade insists her funds are wonderful, despite being forced away from MMA for 11 months.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, the 41-fight veteran has been working as a food delivery driver to make some extra money. <\/p>\n

\u201cThank God I managed to save lots of some money, so things are going well,\u201d Andrade told Direto de Vegas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut every time I want to, I work as a delivery driver. I deliver meals and things like that. I just pick up orders through an app and make the deliveries. I do whatever it takes. I\u2019m not afraid of labor. I can do absolutely anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRecently I began a project at [a friend\u2019s] house, installing artificial turf,\u201d the UFC legend added. \u201cHer backyard was nothing but rocks. I went there and removed all of the rocks from the bottom. I assumed, \u2018I\u2019ll give this a try. If I\u2019m good at it, it\u2019s yet one more way we are able to make some more money every time we’d like it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Jessica Andrade\u2019s missing $2 million<\/h2>\n

In 2024, Jessica Andrade announced she was considering filing a lawsuit\u00a0against her former coach and manager.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old claimed Gilliard Parana embezzled $2 million, but he denied the accusations on the time. <\/p>\n

Andrade has since decided to not press forward with the lawsuit, despite the fact that it\u2019s unclear if her lost money was ever recovered. <\/p>\n

Hopefully, Andrade can be fit enough to return to earning profits as a UFC fighter sometime soon. <\/p>\n
