Rose Namajunas Looks to Spoil Jessica Andrade in Enemy Territory

For the first time in 13-months, UFC women’s strawweight champion Rose Namajunas returns to the Octagon in the UFC 237 main event. “Thug Rose” will step onto enemy soil, as she takes on Jessica Andrade in her own backyard of Brazil.

Not only is Namajunas making her second title defense in enemy territory, but the UFC 237 main event will also be her first time fighting outside of the United States.

Namajunas lost her first UFC title fight, way back in 2014 in The Ultimate Fighter finale against Carla Esparza.
