However, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/amanda-nunes\/amanda-nunes-looking-at-two-more-fights-before-retirement\/\">nothing ended up coming to fruition<\/a> for the first ever female double champ.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Without a Nunes title fight, UFC 237 is still looking to be great card for the Brazil faithful. Especially with one of their best looking to secure gold.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For Andrade, this will be her second crack at the UFC title and <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/exclusive-interviews\/exclusive-jessica-andrade-gold-hunter-on-a-warpath\/\">she never expected it to come in a home game<\/a>. Well, she can thank Namajunas for that as <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/rose-namajunas\/rose-namajunas-chose-to-have-next-fight-in-brazil-over-las-vegas\/\">it was the champion&#8217;s idea<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/D19QuxsXQAImkOD.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The rest of the current UFC 237 lineup consists of multiple MMA legends and tons of hot prospects ready to further establish themselves.
