UFC 237 Weigh-In Results

UFC 237 is this weekend, and you can almost feel the anticipation in the air. The next few pay-per-views could change the entire landscape of the UFC. With Rose Namajunas and Jessica Andrade headlining the pay-per-view in Brazil, the women’s strawweight division could see some big moves.

On the other hand, Anderson Silva now has the chance to write his own swansong in his native country. One of the greatest mixed martial artists to ever grace the cage, Silva, who wanted to fight in Brazil one last time before eventually hanging up his gloves, goes up against a young prospect in Jared Cannonier. From Israel Adesanya to Jared, Anderson Silva has been taking on challengers who grew up mesmerized by the star’s showing.

Jose Aldo also fights on the card, as he faces Alexander Volkanovski, who is ready to pounce at the opportunity, and take Aldo’s place in the UFC rankings.

At the UFC 237 weigh ins, not everything went smoothly, as one fight was scrapped, while Bethe Correia came six pounds above the weight limit!
