How to watch UFC Denver for free: Namajunas vs. Cortez card, live streams, start time & more for 2024 event

Before the UFC heads back to the APEX in Las Vegas, the promotion travels to Colorado for a fight night featuring Rose Namajunas and Tracy Cortez.

Namajunas (12-6) competes in her third fight at the flyweight level. “Thug Rose” is a former two-time UFC strawweight champion, knocking out Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Zhang Weili to hold gold. After losing against Manon Fiorot in her flyweight debut, Namajunas rebounded against Amanda Ribas. 

Feeling healthy in a new division, Namajunas looks to secure a title shot before the year ends. 

Cortez (11-1) replaces Maycee Barber, who backed out due to health issues. Ranked eleventh at the flyweight level, Cortez is on an eleven-fight win streak and was supposed to fight on July 20 against Miranda Maverick.
