Rose Namajunas put together a full package last night (Sat., July 13, 2024) at UFC Denver live on ESPN/ESPN+ from inside Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado, outlasting flyweight contender Tracy Cortez with a hard-fought unanimous decision win.
Aside from the women’s flyweight headliner, UFC Denver showcased a collection of remarkable performances and finishes. Take a look below to discover which ones truly stood out:
- Montel Jackson pushed his bantamweight win streak to five with a blistering 18-second knockout finish over Da’Mon Blackshear (see it HERE)
- Evan Elder delivered a nasty submission stoppage before shouting out former President Donald Trump
- Flyweight prospect Charles Johnson may have punched his ticket to the top 15 with a big comeback TKO win over Joshua Van (highlights HERE)
- In her latest UFC fight, emerging Brazilian fighter Luana Santos secured a remarkable victory over seasoned veteran Mariya Agapova, extending her undefeated record to 3-0. Santos skillfully executed a rear-naked choke in the first round, solidifying her dominance in the octagon.
- Julian Erosa scored another upset win with a first-round guillotine choke against rising prospect Christian Rodriguez
- Jean Silva, the featherweight fighter, made the bold decision to step up to the lightweight division merely two weeks following his triumphant victory at UFC 303.
