The MMA Vivisection MAIN CARD - UFC 237 'Namajunas vs Andrade' Picks, Odds & Analysis

Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here to breakdown this Saturday's, May 11th, UFC 237 PPV event from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with Early ESPN+/FightPass Prelims starting at 5:15PM/2:15PM ET/PT, followed by Prelims on ESPN+ at 8PM/5PM ET/PT, with the Main Card culminating at 10PM/7PM ET/PT.

The main attraction features the World Stawweight Championship between 'Thug' Rose Namajunas vs Jéssica 'Bate Estaca (Pile-Driver)' Andrade. Namajunas defends her title here with an 8-3-0 record on a three-fight winning streak, most recently defeating Joanna Jędrzejczyk via Unanimous Decision at UFC 223, last April. Meanwhile, her contender 'Bate Estaca' has a longer 19-6-0 professional record coming into this fight with a matching three-fight winning streak, last defeating Karolina Kowalkiewicz at UFC 228 via Punch at 1:58 in round 1.

Not to be diminished by the main, we have an impressive Middleweight Bout between Jared Cannonier and Anderson Silva for our co-main event, as well as an anticipated Featherweight bout featuring José Also vs Alexander Volkanovski.

The guys are here with picks, odds, and analysis for every bout on the MAIN CARD. Starting at the top of the card and on down the line; and in our separate PRELIMS POST, they will go over all the bouts on the undercard. (Look for that show right here on our BE Presents SoundCloud channel later today.)
