UFC237 Latest Updates,Complete Fights And Post Match Highlights

Jessica Andrade is the new UFC Women's Strawweight Champion. The diminutive but powerful Brazilian scored an amazing highlight-reel KO in her native Brazil on Saturday to win the title in the main event of UFC 237.

After being picked apart by Rose Namajunas' boxing skills in the first round and most of the second, Andrade's raw power and ferociousness prevailed. Andrade never stopped coming forward and ultimately, a vicious slam knocked Namajunas out cold and resulted in a victory for Andrade.

This was an especially tough loss for Namajunas. She'd come back from a neck injury and a long layoff, but she was fighting brilliantly through most of the first round. However, Andrade was doing damage with an outside leg kick and beginning to wilt Namajunas' spirit with her pressure. Technically, Namajunas appeared to have an answer for Andrade, but her will to win seemed to falter as the Brazilian was able to eat her 1-2 combinations while coming forward.

Also, Andrade did solid work to the body, which also appeared to have an impact on Namajunas' movement. If Namajunas had been able to maintain her pace throughout the five rounds, she would have skated to a decision, but Andrade got inside, landed the slam and took away the title.
