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.
