THE OCTAGON RETURNS TO THE MILE HIGH CITY ON JULY 13TH FOR UFC ON ESPN 59, ALSO KNOWN AS UFC DENVER. IN THE MAIN EVENT, FORMER STRAWWEIGHT CHAMPION ROSE NAMAJUNAS STEPS BACK INTO THE CAGE, HUNGRY TO CLIMB THE RANKINGS. HER OPPONENT? THE UNDEFEATED TRACY CORTEZ, A RISING CONTENDER LOOKING TO MAKE A SPLASH ON THE BIGGEST STAGE.
NAMAJUNAS, KNOWN FOR HER TECHNICAL SKILLS AND UNWAVERING FIGHTING SPIRIT, HAS ALREADY FACED AND CONQUERED SOME OF THE DIVISION'S BEST. NOW, SHE SETS HER SIGHTS ON PROVING HER DOMINANCE ONCE AGAIN. BUT CORTEZ PRESENTS A UNIQUE CHALLENGE. UNDEFEATED IN THE UFC, CORTEZ IS A CALCULATED STRIKER WITH A RELENTLESS PACE. THIS IS HER CHANCE TO CATAPULT HERSELF INTO TITLE CONTENTION WITH A WIN OVER A LEGENDARY NAME.
BUT NAMAJUNAS AND CORTEZ AREN'T THE ONLY ONES READY TO IGNITE THE OCTAGON. THE CO-MAIN EVENT PROMISES A WAR IN THE WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION AS VETERAN STRIKER SANTIAGO PONZINIBBIO FACES THE EVER-DANGEROUS MUSLIM SALIKHOV. BOTH FIGHTERS ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR EXPLOSIVE STYLES, MAKING THIS A POTENTIAL BARNBURNER.
THE REST OF THE MAIN CARD IS EQUALLY STACKED WITH RISING PROSPECTS AND ESTABLISHED CONTENDERS. EXPECT FIREWORKS AS DREW DOBER AND JEAN SILVA CLASH IN A LIGHTWEIGHT BATTLE, AND WATCH GABRIEL BONFIM TAKE ON ANGE LOOSA IN A SUREFIRE WELTERWEIGHT BRAWL.
