Wow early knockdown for Rose

Rose Namajunas sits down Tracy Cortez with a jab about two minutes into the round. Cortez didn’t appear to be too rocked. They’re back up. #UFCDenver

She literally punched her eyelash off!

Rose knocked her eyelashes right off!

10-9 Rose

The best round that she has had as a flyweight since moving up

Cortez scales the back of Namajnuas, but she’s too high up, falls off the top. Has a guillotine now though, but Rose is out! #UFCDenver

Rose looks like Mayweather in there with the vision and movement. #UFCDenver

Rose with a late takedown just ahead of the buzzer to end R2. #UFCDenver

20-18 Namajunas. Cortez tried to integrate the grappling, but Namajunas neutralized fairly quickly. Namajunas largely dominant thus far. #UFCDenver

Rose is showing that there are levels to this game. Displaying the full arsenal and dominating in most positions. #UFCDenver

Thug Rose would that high level fight IQ with that takedown #UFCDenver

30-27 Namajunas

Rose is cruising so far as Cortez enters the championship rounds for the first time in her career in need of a finish.

Cortez is down on the cards, but to her credit, she doesn’t look particularly fatigued despite the elevation and her first time in the championship rounds

— Aaron Bronsteter (@aaronbronsteter) July 14, 2024

40-36 Namajunas. More of the same. Cortez has been unable to put together significant offense. Santino Defranco tells her she needs a finish in Round 5, and he’s correct. #UFCDenver

“Do something great.”

Great cornering advice there.

Midway point of R5. Cortez behind on the cards. This is the time to start swinging for the fences, but Namajunas lands a takedown. Barely has it, and Cortez scrambles to the fence/wall walks up. #UFCDenver

— Cageside Press (@Cagesidepress) July 14, 2024

Tracy Cortez loses 25 minutes consecutively to Rose Namjunas – throws he arms in the air at final bell and walks around the cage – preparing well for this L #UFCDenver

With the logjam of Grasso-Shevchenko-Fiorot, I feel like we’re kind of back where we started with Rose Namajunas vs. Maycee Barber being the fight to make #UFCDenver https://t.co/5jBWvvh1Qx
