UFC is back in Denver and features the showdown between Rose Namajunas and Tracy Cortez. 

Denver will host a fight card filled with emerging talents in critical matchups, headlined by former strawweight champion Rose Namajunas. Fighting at home, Namajunas aims to solidify her status as a top contender in the flyweight division. She will face Tracy Cortez, who seized a massive short-notice opportunity to step into the main event.

Namajunas, a two-time champion, is looking to build on her momentum after a successful rebound in March. Following a loss in her divisional debut last fall in Paris, she secured a five-round unanimous decision victory over Amanda Ribas. The 32-year-old remains one of the most skilled fighters on the roster, and a second consecutive win could position her for a title shot in 2025.

Cortez, representing Fight Ready MMA, stepped up to replace Maycee Barber in the main event, opting out of her scheduled bout with Miranda Maverick. Undefeated in her five UFC appearances and riding an 11-fight win streak overall, Cortez faces a significant challenge in Namajunas, a seasoned and highly skilled opponent.

The short-notice nature of the fight adds an intriguing element, as the unpredictability of preparation could play a pivotal role. Namajunas holds a substantial edge in experience, but Cortez’s confidence and willingness to take on this challenge could make for an exciting contest.
