Rose Namajunas Defeats Tracy Cortez in UFC Denver: A Detailed Report

On July 14, 2024, at Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado, Rose Namajunas (14-6 MMA, 11-5 UFC) defeated Tracy Cortez (11-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) in the main event of UFC Denver. The flyweight bout was a significant opportunity for Cortez to step up and replace an injured Maycee Barber but ended with Namajunas taking control with her striking and ground game.

The opening minutes of the fight saw Namajunas landing clean strikes on the outside, mixing up punches and kicks. Two minutes in, she dropped Cortez with a left hook, causing one of her eyelashes to fly off. Despite not being able to finish the fight after following Cortez to the ground, Namajunas continued her dominance throughout the bout.

In the second round, Namajunas took control with takedowns and ground-and-pound. She also landed a kick to Cortez's face in a clinch situation. The third round saw more of the same, with Namajunas taking Cortez down multiple times and controlling her on the ground.

Cortez, who took the fight on short notice after Maycee Barber withdrew due to medical issues, held her own against Namajunas but ultimately came up short. After the bout, Namajunas expressed interest in fighting for the flyweight title or even a BMF title fight.

Tracy Cortez was gracious in defeat and vowed to come back stronger. She believes she could have performed better with a full camp and proper game plan.

UFC Denver also saw wins for Drew Dober, Jean Silva, Josh Fremd, and Cody Brundage. The event marked the first title partnership between UFC and Riyadh Season for UFC 306 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on September 14th.

    The author makes several statements without providing clear evidence or logical reasoning to support them. These statements include: 'That judge who scored the fight 48-47 might have had some explaining to do if Namajunas hadn’t come out on top.' and 'If not, Namajunas became the latest female fighter to express an interest in a BMF fight.' These statements are speculative and do not provide any evidence or logical reasoning. Additionally, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric when stating 'That questionable card didn’t lead to a change in the bottom-line outcome.' without providing any context or evidence for why it was a questionable card.
