It’s Ultimate Media Day. Jessica Andrade looks forward to the faceoff with Thug Rose. Aldo rubs a championship belt and hangs with BJ. Penn tells the media that he’s lucky to fight on such a big Brazil card. He and Clay have a fun and friendly faceoff. Aldo wants a title shot with a win, and respectfully faces off with Alexander Volkanovski.
Anderson Silva talks about representing Brazil, and Andrade’s chances against Namajunas. Jared Cannonier has respect for Silva, but he’s “only a man”. Andrade doesn’t think her fight will go the distance. Rose talks about wanting something new since she had fought Joanna Jedrzejczyk twice, and that this was definitely new.
Back in Andrade’s room, and it’s her grandma’s birthday. She’s cutting weight though. She discusses the sacrifice, but says it will be worth it when she gets to fight and win.
And that’s it! UFC 237 goes down tomorrow night in Rio.
