UFC 237: Namajunas vs. Andrade - Winners and Losers

I’ve given a pass to many events that featured a subpar undercard that was bolstered by a tremendous main event. Even though the main event of UFC 237 delivered, I still can’t give a pass on the event. Not only did too many contests on the card underwhelm, it was the contests that featured name value that especially underwhelmed. Alexander Volkanovski’s win over Jose Aldo felt anticlimactic. Though Jared Cannonier beat Anderson Silva fair and square, leg injuries deciding a contest tends to leave a sour taste in the mouth of observers. So while Jessica Andrade saved the event from being a complete disaster for the Brazilian fans, I still can’t believe many went home happy.
