Rose Namajunas demonstrated her superiority over Tracy Cortez in the main event of UFC Denver on Saturday night. Competing in her adopted hometown, Namajunas utilized a blend of precise striking and well-timed takedowns to secure a unanimous decision victory (49-46, 49-46, 48-47).
In the opening round, Namajunas dropped Cortez with a powerful left hook and even dislodged one of her opponent's eyelashes with a punch. Building on this early dominance, Namajunas implemented several textbook takedowns and maintained control from the top position throughout the fight.
Although one judge's 48-47 score raised eyebrows, Namajunas clearly outclassed Cortez in all but the final round. Despite a strong effort from Cortez in the fifth round, where she pushed for a finish, it was not enough to sway the outcome in her favor.
Nevertheless, Cortez, who stepped in as a late replacement for Maycee Barber due to injury, made a commendable debut in a main event setting. Meanwhile, Namajunas expressed interest in challenging Alexa Grasso for the flyweight title, pending Grasso's upcoming bout against Valentina Shevchenko.
If Grasso retains her title against Shevchenko, a showdown between Namajunas and Grasso could be on the horizon....See More
