'I was very certain what I had to do in the second round,' Andrade said. 'I've never done that move before in the UFC.'

CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREAfter losing the first round of the UFC 237 main event handily, Jessica Andrade knew she had to mix things up.

Andrade slammed Namajunas for the knockout, winning the championship at the 2:34 mark. The strawweight title fight was the UFC 237 main event from Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro and streamed on ESPN+ pay-per-view. Andrade’s best moments in the first round came when she closed the distance and fired shots, and that was a foreshadowing of the second. Andrade’s flurries didn’t always connect, but they became noticeably more successful as the round progressed.

Quick question , you would not put bloody pictures of dog fighting, or bull fighting or cock fighting in your paper. Surprisingly, you don't mind to put pics of barbarian fights between humans. It puzzled me. Sincerely, I do not get the double standard.

Ya because it is an illegal move. She’s lucky rose grabbed that arm or she would of been disqualified that’s a pile driver and dirty as fuck. She was outclassed the entire time and proved nothing other than sometimes people get lucky

You be you, but I’ll never understand how this is a sport 🤷🏻‍♂️

Could have broken her neck. 😮 UFC237 JessicaAndrade Brazil

Yeah...”public servant” Bishop is wrong on this one. 'Christians,' who won't support a baby, after it's born, are hypocrites, and need to be shouted down to get their attention. NRA kills more people than PPFA! They should protest their offices, instead.
