UFC Fight Night is set to take place in the Mile High City of Denver, with a surprising turn of events ahead of the anticipated main event featuring Rose Namajunas and Tracy Cortez. This highly anticipated five-round battle of ranked flyweight contenders will headline the UFC Fight Night at Ball Arena in Denver.

The UFC hasn’t been in Denver since November 2018, and the return promises to be a memorable one for fans. The headlining fight between Namajunas and Cortez carries significant title-shot implications and has generated a lot of excitement among MMA enthusiasts.

The previous UFC Fight Night card in Denver had a spectacular finish with Yair Rodriguez delivering a spinning elbow to stop Chan Sung Jung in the fifth round. The winner of Saturday’s main event between Namajunas and Cortez could make a strong case for a title shot in the competitive flyweight division.

Rose Namajunas enters the fight as a -250 favorite, showcasing her experience and skill as a former two-time champion. On the other hand, Tracy Cortez looks to capitalize on her momentum and stake her claim in the division as a +205 underdog.

In the co-main event, Santiago Ponzinibbio and Muslim Salikhov will face off in a welterweight showdown, promising an action-packed matchup for UFC Fight Night fans. As the night unfolds, the anticipation for the main event continues to grow.
