The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Saturday will get re-acquainted with the Mile High City when UFC on ESPN 59 touches down at Ball Arena in Denver, where Rose Namajunas squares off with Tracy Cortez in the women's flyweight headliner. Meanwhile, welterweight veterans Santiago Ponzinibbio and Muslim Salikhov do battle in the three-round co-main event at 170 pounds.

Namajunas, 32, steps back into view having won seven of her past 10 bouts. The Milwaukee native last appeared on March 23, when she rebounded from back-to-back losses to Carla Esparza and Manon Fiorot with a five-round unanimous decision over Amanda Ribas in their UFC on ESPN 53 encounter. Namajunas owns a 10-5 record in the UFC. Cortez, meanwhile, fills in as a short-notice replacement for Maycee Barber. The 30-year-old Fight Ready rep has rattled off 11 consecutive victories, five of them inside the Octagon. Cortez punched her ticket to the UFC on Season 3 of Dana White's Contender Series in 2019.
