UFC 237: Namajunas vs. Andrade

[Hydrogen]

Notes

-Said Nurmagomedov pulled out and was replaced by Carlos Huachin on may 1st.

-There are rumors this will be the last fight of BJ Penn but I just saw an interview of him saying he wants to fight in africa so he can say he fought on every continent which could imply he'll continue fighting even if its not with the UFC.

-Bethe Corriea is 5'5 with a reported 64 inch reach. Her frame may be better suited to competing at 125 or 115 lbs. But we shall see. There are many fighters with smaller frames who do well despite what some might call a size disadvantage. Perhaps Bethe is one of these.

-People may not recognize Priscila Cachoeira's name. She is the female fighter who Mario Yamasaki allowed to take many unanswered strikes from Valentina Shevchenko. Dana White was upset from Yamasaki failing to protect the health of the fighter and said Yamasaki would never referee in the UFC again. Cachoeira is also taking this fight on short notice with the bout officially being announced on april 22nd.

-Kurt Holobaugh's boxing has looked very good of late. I think Thiago Moises only chance to win the fight could be if he wrestles or takes the fight to the ground.

-BJ Penn could have a very slight chance to win his fight via sub. Clay Guida has displayed poor submission defense in the past. He has circled to the wrong side attempting to defend guillotine chokes and made other errors. Unfortunately for Penn, his cardio has looked terrible and so if he tries for a submission and doesn't get it he'll very likely exhaust himself & lose the fight.

I am imagining Jessica Andrade will win this match.
The match with Aldana earlier with Corriea going down just by her weight and then she put her into submission leg lock across her neck. After the fight it looked like she broke her nose cause there was a alot of blood on her face but she receive a strike to her face.
I am thinking the Andrade fight will end the same way for the brazilian being the dominant one of the two fighters.
