Namajunas, who is riding a three-fight winning streak, last fought on April 7, 2018, scoring a unanimous decision win over Joanna Jedrzejczyk. Namajunas previously TKO’d the former champion to win the belt and also holds a win over former Invicta FC champion Michelle Waterson during her current unbeaten run.
Andrade has also won three in a row, with wins over fellow top contenders Claudia Gadelha, Tecia Torres, and Karolina Kowalkiewicz.
UFC 237 will be one of three events the promotion puts on throughout the month, with the other two airing on ESPN+.
The event will also feature the return of Brazilian legend Anderson Silva, who campaigned for a spot on the pay-per-view in his home country following a unanimous decision loss to Israel Adesanya.
Additional bouts will be announced in the coming weeks.
Below is all of the information you will need to catch the event from the opening bout.
