In the main event of the night, Rose Namajunas and Jessica Andrade stole the show. Namajunas put on a masterful striking performance in the first round, busting Andrade open early. In the second round, Namajunas did much of the same, before Andrade went in on a takedown. “Thug” attempted to defend the takedown with a kimura, however, it ended up backfiring.

Namajunas was dumped right on her head, and was rendered unconscious immediately. Andrade was awarded the second-round knockout win, and the UFC women’s strawweight title. Both women will take home a $50,000 Fight Of The Night bonus for their main event. However, Andrade will take home an additional $50,000 for Performance Of The Night.

In the co-main event of last night’s (Sat. May 11, 2019) UFC 237 pay-per-view (PPV), former UFC middleweight champion Anderson “The Spider” Silva returned against Jarred Cannonier.

Silva and Cannonier had a feeling out process to open the round, but both men began to get some solid offense off in the second half of the round. However, with seconds left, Cannonier landed a leg kick that dropped Silva to the canvas.

The Brazilian was in a noticeable amount of pain, and Cannonier jumped on him for some ground-and-pound, but the referee didn’t let things get that far. Cannonier was officially awarded a first-round TKO victory. Silva noted in his post-fight interview that his knee was hurting him during camp as well.

Once he took the kick from Cannonier, he couldn’t continue. Check out how the mixed martial arts (MMA) community reacted to the finish here:
