A pair of new champions were crowned this past weekend as Jessica Andrade became the UFC strawweight champion and Patricio “Pitbull” Freire added the Bellator featherweight title to his resume.
Andrade finished Rose Namajunas in the main event of UFC 237 with a vicious slam out of a submission attempt. The card also featured losses by former UFC champions Anderson Silva, Jose Aldo and BJ Penn.
