The UFC returned to Denver, Colorado on Saturday night, bringing 12 fights to fans in "The Mile High City."
The top fight of the night was contested in the women's flyweight division, with former strawweight champ Rose Namajunas taking on streaking contender Tracy Cortez.
Cortez stepped in on short notice to replace the injured Maycee Barber, and stood to make a huge statement by taking out a former champ. In the end, however, Namajunas reigned supreme, asserting herself as a serious flyweight contender with a clear cut unanimous-decision win.
The co-headliner occurred at welterweight, with Argentina's Santiago Ponzinibbio taking on Russia's Muslim Salikhov in a clash of veteran strikers.
