The Main Event
"Thug" Rose Namajunas (9-3) is the current Women's Strawweight Champion, but she is also a slight underdog in this match. That doesn't appear to bother Rose, who takes a confident approach of aggressively fighting the best opponent she can. She revealed in an interview that she was offered the chance to hold this fight in Las Vegas, but instead chose to go to her opponents home country of Brazil. "Thug Rose" is accustomed to being an underdog. She began her UFC career in "The Ultimate Fighter" season 20, where she was drafted middle of the pack, but fought her way to the finals. In 2017, she was a longshot when she challenged Joanna Jedrzejczyk for the Strawweight title. She scored a convincing knock out then, so expect her to have no fear facing a hometown favorite in Rio.
Jéssica "Bate Estaca" Andrade (19-6) is that Brazilian brawler, and top challenger for the Strawweight title. While Andrade is a betting favorite, she faces some shortcomings of her own. She gives the height and weight advantage to her opponent, as she is only 5 ft 1 in with a 62 inch reach. She also has four UFC losses compared to only two by Namajunas. Things even out a bit when digging into common opponents. Jéssica has knocked out Karolina Kowalkiewicz, who is one of only two UFC fighters so far to defeat Rose Namajunas. However, Andrade lost a split decision to Joanna Jędrzejczyk in a title fight. Joanna lost the belt to Rose Namajunas in her next fight, then lost a rematch just five months later. In a tight division, Namajunas vs. Andrade is an clear choice as title match and pay per view headliner.
Rose Namajunas talked about this fight, selecting fights, and more in this interview with Ariel Helwani of ESPN.
Here's the schedule for this split event
- Early Prelims: 6:15 p.m. Eastern on ESPN+
- Prelims: 8 p.m. Eastern on ESPN
- Main Card: 10 p.m. Eastern on PPV
- Post Show: 1 a.m. on ESPN+
The main card also features another Brazilian fighter, although this on is a bigger name on the tail end of his career. Anderson Silva (34-9) held the UFC Middleweight title longer than anyone else. Since losing that title, he has gone 1-5 with a no contest due to Silva testing positive for banned substances. A loss here wouldn't leave Silva with many options, so he may be desperate. Silva faces Jared Cannonier (11-4), the 10th ranked contender for the Middleweight title. A win here is a highly visible fight could be just what Cannonier needs to push further up towards a shot at champion Robert Whittaker.
