The Ultimate Fighting Championship heads to Rio de Janeiro for UFC 237, where the card has undergone a major change the day before the show.
In the UFC 237 main event, strawweight champion Rose Namajunas (114.5) is putting her title on the line when she takes on Brazilian Jessica Andrade (114.5). Co-headlining the card is middleweight legend Anderson Silva (184.5) taking on former heavyweight Jared Cannonier (185) in a battle between two Top-15 middleweights.
UFC 237 "Namajunas vs. Andrade," which airs live on pay-per-view on Saturday, May 11 at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT, also features a significant featherweight fight between former divisional kingpin Jose Aldo (146) and surging contender Alexander Volkanovski (145.5). A pair of welterweights will square off as divisional mainstay Thiago Alves (170) meets Argentina's Laureano Staropoli (170.5).
One fighter missed weight: Bethe Correia (141), who came in five pounds heavy for her bantamweight battle, and she has been fined 30 percent of her purse but the fight will proceed as scheduled. On the main card, Carlos Diego Ferreira was slated to take on Francisco Trinaldo (154.5), but the scrap has been canceled due to health concerns for Ferreira. It is currently unclear which bout will shifted to the pay-per-view portion of tomorrow night's event.
