Saturday night will be full of action in South America as the UFC travels to the Rio Olympic Arena in Rio de Janeiro for the promotion’s fourth pay-per-view event of the year.
Fights will get started at 6:15 p.m. ET on UFC Fight Pass with a four-fight early preliminary card that will transition to a four-fight preliminary card at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN before finally starting the PPV portion of the event at 10 p.m. ET with a four-fight main card.
UFC 237 is headlined by a women's strawweight clash between the division's undisputed champion 'Thug' Rose Namajunas and No. 1 contender Jessica Andrade.
Namajunas has won three fights in a row, most recently dispatching longtime champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk during their much-anticipated rematch at UFC 223 in April 2018.
Andrade was last seen knocking out top-10 contender Karolina Kowalkiewicz in just 118 seconds back at UFC 228 this past September.
The rest of the card is shaping up to be fun as well. The co-main event features middleweights Anderson Silva and Jared Cannonier, while Jose Aldo, Thiago Alves and even B.J. Penn will be making appearances.
