UFC Schedule: UFC Denver Main Card fights
Rose Namajunas was initially scheduled to fight Maycee Barber. However, the latter had to withdraw due to health issues. Just a week before the UFC Denver, Tracy Cortez replaced Barber to face Namajunas.
In addition to this main attraction, there will also be an epic lightweight clash between Drew Dober and Mike Davis. Interestingly, Dober has a record of 27 wins, 13 losses, and 0 no contests, while Davis has 11 wins, 2 losses, and 0 no contests.
Moreover, Davis originally had a fight scheduled against Jean Silva at UFC 303. But after Silver withdrew, citing a torn biceps, Silva had to replace him. It is noteworthy that Silva last fought two weeks ago at UFC 303, where he won his bout against Charles Jourdain.
The main card will also feature two welterweight bouts: Santiago Ponzinibbio vs. Muslim Salikhov and Gabriel Bonfim vs. Ange Loosa. Fans can watch the event live on ESPN+ and the UFC Fight Pass app. Also, check out the full fight card below:
