UFC 237: Previewing the Biggest and Best Fights Set for Brazil
The UFC returns to Rio on May 11 at the Jeunesse Arena for UFC 237. It will be headlined by a strawweight title tilt featuring a clash of styles.
Rose Namajunas will defend the belt against the top-ranked challenger, Jessica Andrade. Namajunas will travel to Andrade's backyard in the hopes of spoiling the homecoming and sending the Brazilian crowd home in disappointment.
In the co-main event, Anderson Silva returns to action against Jared Cannonier. It is not the marquee matchup the former champ is used to but it remains a dangerous challenge. Cannonier will be given the opportunity to oust a legend and establish himself as a true title threat in an increasingly deep middleweight division.
