UFC Fight Night in Denver will be headlined by a flyweight encounter between two-time former strawweight champion Rose Namajunas and Tracy Cortez. The fight is available on multiple streaming services for free.
What time is UFC Fight Night?. The main card will air on ESPN and is scheduled to begin at 10 p.m. Eastern. Namajunas is coming off a unanimous victory over Amanda Ribas in March. She is currently ranked No. 6 in the division. This is her third fight at the flyweight level. “Thug Rose” was a former two-time strawweight champion before making the jump. She holds seven wins by submission.
Cortez has not lost since her MMA debut in 2017. Currently ranked No. 10 in the division, her most recent victory was via unanimous decision over Jasmine Jasudavicius back in September 2023. In a concerning trend, all but two of her victories have come via decision. This is easily the biggest fight of her career, and it comes unexpectedly.
Cortez was originally scheduled to fight next week against Miranda Maverick but was switched after Namajunas’ opponent Maycee Barber had to withdraw due to injury. That sets up this intriguing encounter. Cortez will have strong advantages in power striking categories and wrestling while Namajunas’ rigorous training regimen will prepare her for the elevation and what could be a long, dragged-out fight. Namajunas’ well documented experience against high quality fighters is also likely to play a role, as is her submission expertise. Keep an eye on the punches. Namajunas’ jabs can take a toll on any given night, but especially in this environment.Rose Namajunas vs. Tracy CortezDrew Dober vs.
