================================================== ================================================== ===================================

2-time UFC Women's Strawweight Champion Rose Namajunas [8-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC]
will defend her title against former UFC Women's Strawweight Championship challenger
Jessica Andrade [19-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC] at UFC 237 on May 11th in Brazil.


Both fighters are on a 3-fight winning streak. It will be Namajunas' first fight in over
13 months. Andrade last fought in September.

The UFC Welterweight Championship picture is a total shit show. Tyron Woodley
[19-3-1 MMA, 9-2-1 UFC] won the belt in July 2016 and defended it 3 times up to
July 2017. Then he got injured, so the UFC set up an interim title fight in June 2018, which
saw Colby Covington [14-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC] beat Rafael Dos Anjos [28-11 MMA, 17-9 UFC].


Then Woodley came back in September 2018, but instead of fighting Covington
to unify the belts, the UFC stripped Covington of his belt and had Woodley fight
Darren Till, whom he beat.


Now, the UFC has scheduled Woodley to defend his belt against Kamaru Usman
[14-1 MMA, 9-0 UFC] at UFC 235 on March 2nd in Las Vegas. Dana White promised
Covington the next fight with Woodley, but renigged on the offer, and Covington is PISSED.


They did Covington super dirty. He's demanding either a title shot or his release.
