UFC 237 STARTING TO SHAPE UP

UFC 237 takes place May 11 in Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and many fresh spells with this card have been revealed from the past week. We knew the main event is that a women’s UFC strawweight title fight between champion Rose Namajunas and challenger Jessica Andrade, but today we understand a number of the undercard bouts too. They are listed below, together with my first thoughts.
Anderson Silva vs. Jared Cannonier, UFC 237
An intriguing middleweight bout sees Anderson Silva take on Jared Cannonier. ESPN broke the information. Silva (34-9, 1 NC) is 17-5, 1 NC at the UFC and in his last battle missing a hard-fought choice to No. 1 rival Israel Adesanya. Cannonier (11-4) is 4-4 in the UFC and in his middleweight introduction scored an upset KO win over David Branch. As great as Cannonier appeared at 185lbs and as poor as Silva has looked in the last five decades, I think Silva could win this battle. I am expecting a close fight , and if for whatever reason Silva is a underdog I would seriously think about taking a shot on him.
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira vs. Ryan Spann, UFC 237
Light heavyweights Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and Ryan Spann are set to battle. Combate revealed the news. Nogueira (23-8) is 6-5 in the UFC and in his final fight upset Sam Alvey through KO. Spann (15-5) is really on a five-fight win streak including a decision win over Luis Henrique in his UFC debut. Despite Rogerio’s triumph over Alvey, I still think he has fade material due to being 42-years old, and I would need to favor Spann to acquire this fight just according to him 27-years older.
Bethe Correia vs. Irene Aldana, UFC 237
A women’s bantamweight bout will see Bethe Correia take on Irene Aldana. Combate broke the news. Correia (10-3-1) is 4-3-1 in the UFC but hasn’t fought since a brutal head kick KO loss to Holly Holm at June 2017. Aldana (9-4) is currently 2-2 from the UFC and has won back-to-back decisions over Lucie Pudilova and Talita Bernardo heading into the match. Correia needs to be faded coming from a long layoff, especially against a specialized striker such as Aldana. I am hoping to get a near line here due to Correia’s popularity, but I believe Aldana intentionally is the most-likely consequence of this particular bout.
Jessica-Rose Clark vs. Talita Bernardo, UFC 237
Women’s flyweights Jessica-Rose Clark and Talita Bernardo will meet at this function. Combate broke the information. Clark (9-5, 1 NC) is 2-1 at the UFC but fell a decision to Jessica Eye in her final bout. Bernardo (6-3) is currently 1-2 in the UFC and is coming off of a determination win over Sarah Moras. This should be an aggressive bout but Clark is the proven and experienced fighter and needs to be slightly favored here.
Wu Yanan vs. Luana Carolina, UFC 237
And finally, flyweights Wu Yanan and Luana Carolina will battle. Agfight had the news. Yana (10-2) is 1-1 from the UFC including a decision win over Lauren Mueller in her last outing. Carolina (5-1) hasn’t lost since her pro debut in 2015, and earned a UFC contract with a triumph over the Brazilian Contender Series. Both fighters are lacking experience, but Carolina is the Brazilian fighting her home turf here and I’d assume she would be a decent-sized favored at open.
