UFC Denver: Namajunas vs. Cortez TV Channel, Full Card & Betting Odds

The UFC is back from its week off.

The UFC kicks off its July schedule with a Fight Night instalment from Denver, CO, featuring an important flyweight bout between No. 6-ranked former strawweight champion Rose Namajunas (12-6, 8-5 UFC) and No.11-ranked Tracy Cortez (11-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) in a potential flyweight title eliminator.

Namajunas' UFC run has primarily taken place at strawweight, competing against the best the division had to offer, including four combined title fight wins against former champion and newly minted UFC Hall of Famer Joanna Jędrzejczyk (16-5 MMA, 10-5 UFC) and current strawweight champion Weili Zhang (23-5 MMA, 9-2 UFC).

Since losing the rematch to Carla Esparza (19-7 MMA, 10-5 UFC), Namajunas is just 1-1 in her last two outings, securing a decision win against Amanda Ribas (12-5 MMA, 7-4 UFC) in March with relative ease.

Meanwhile, Cortez is A DWCS alumnae and has put together a perfect run thus far in the promotion. Despite not competing in 10 months, Cortez holds victories against some of the top prospects in the division and defeated Jasmine Jasudavicius (10-3 MMA, 4-2 UFC), who had won five out of her last six fights entering the contest.

Cortez has nine decision wins, as the fight with Namajunas is her first five-round offering during her UFC stint thus far.
