If she can’t get her hands on the flyweight title just yet, ‘Thug’ Rose Namajunas would love to compete for the first-ever women’s BMF belt.
Returning to her home away from home, Denver, Colorado, the former two-time strawweight queen scored her second-straight win at 125, besting short-notice replacement Tracy Cortez in an entertaining five-round affair to close out the UFC’s return to The Centennial State on Saturday night.
After knocking down Cortez early, Namajunas asserted her dominance throughout the fight, mixing up her striking and her wrestling to score a unanimous decision victory over her opponent.
