UFC 237 is set to go down this Saturday night (May 11, 2019) from inside Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil which will feature a women’s Strawweight title fight as division champion Rose Namajunas defends her belt against Brazilian ace Jessica Andrade.
Rose looks for her second straight defense after taking out Joanna Jedrzejczyk early last year. As far as Jessica is concerned, she will look to get her first taste of UFC gold after failing to do so against the aforementioned Joanna at UFC 211 a few years ago.
Co-headlining the event is a middleweight showdown between former division champ and ex pound-for-pound great, Anderson Silva, facing Jared Cannonier in what is truly Jared’s biggest bout of his career. Also, Alexander Volkanovski will look to force himself into the title picture when he faces former Featherweight king Jose Aldo in main card action.
Before then, take a look at all of the behind-the-scenes action of fight week as all of the combatants put in the final preparations before taking care of business inside the Octagon.
