The UFC is headed to the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado, on July 13, 2024, for its upcoming card, UFC Fight Night: Namajunas vs. Cortez (also known as UFC Denver and UFC on ESPN 59).
Headlining the UFC Denver card will be an intriguing women's flyweight clash between former strawweight champion Rose Namajunas and rising star Tracy Cortez.
After dropping the 115-pound title to Carla Esparza in a split decision loss at UFC 274, Rose Namajunas was outpointed by French standout Manon Fiorot in her flyweight debut last September. However, 'Thug' bounced back with a unanimous decision victory over Amanda Ribas last time out in March.
