This weekend, the UFC returns to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for UFC 237. This event was originally supposed to go down in Curitiba, Brazil, but the UFC and the commission couldn’t come to terms. Now the fight takes place in Jose Aldo’s hometown, rather than Anderson Silva’s. This card has some real legends on it, throughout it, and headlined by a returning champion in Rose Namajunas. This is going to be a great night of fights you don’t want to miss. Fight Card posted below:
