Twitter reacts to Jessica Andrade's win over Rose Namajunas at UFC 237

Jessica Andrade stunned Rose Namajunas at the Jeunesse Arena in Rio De Janeiro at UFC 237 main event to win the UFC women’s strawweight championship.

Namajunas was dominating the fight with strikes in the first two-round, until out of nowhere Jessica Andrade slammed Rose on her head and the fight was stopped by the referee.

Referee Marc Goddard instantly waved off the fight at 2:58 of the second round after it looked like Namajunas was lying on the canvas and she couldn’t continue anymore.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to Jessica winning the UFC strawweight title.

Wow, I don’t think anyone saw that coming, Rose had her number in the striking and was more technical on the ground but holy shit don’t let Andrade pick your ass up. #UFC237

Thank god Rose is ok! I was really nervous watching that. The neck stuff freaks me out especially being a victim of neck injuries as well. #UFC237

"When I lost the belt I cried." – Daniel Cormier just totally dumbstruck by Namajunas' admission that this loss took a lot of pressure off her. #UFC237

Amazing that Rose is just 26yo, and Andrade 27, considering what they’ve both accomplished. #UFC237

Andrade high-crotched Rose and Rose landed on her head, which KO’d her. Absolutely brutal.
