Namajunas shuts down Cortez in decisive win
Hale: Rose Namajunas used superior striking and grappling to shut down a spirited effort from Tracy Cortez and earn a unanimous decision Saturday night in the main event of UFC Fight Night at the sold-out Ball Arena in Denver.
It was a home game for the UFC's No. 6-ranked flyweight Namajunas (14-6 MMA, 11-5 UFC), who has resided in Denver for the past decade, and the former two-time strawweight champion dominated in every facet against Cortez. The early portions of the fight saw Namajunas use her superior striking to pick off Cortez, and her grappling owned the middle rounds.
With scores of 49-46, 49-46 and 48-47, Namajunas collected her second consecutive win after dropping her flyweight debut against Manon Fiorot in 2023.
