UFC 237 Results: Jessica Andrade Wins Title, Anderson Silva Injured on Main Card

It wasn't the best night for Brazilian fans at UFC 237 in Rio de Janeiro, but it ended on a high note, as Jessica Andrade won the women's strawweight championship with a second-round knockout over Rose Namajunas.

In the first round, it looked like it would be a masterful performance for Namajunas. She was quick, sharp and had an answer for everything Andrade threw at her.

As it turns out, having the answers cost her in the end. With Andrade looking to pick up the champion and slam her to the mat, Namajunas trapped the arm to prevent the slam.
