How Much Money Did Rose Namajunas Make By Beating Tracy Cortez at UFC Denver?
Rose Namajunas and Tracy Cortez
Rose Namajunas, aka âThug Rose,â secured a decisive victory in front of her home crowd in Denver, Colorado, this Saturday. The main event featured the fan-favorite âThug Roseâ facing off against the undefeated Tracy Cortez. Namajunas secured her flyweight contender status with a commanding decision victory over Cortez. Following the fight, Namajunas returned home with a generous paycheck.
According to Marca, Namajunas earned approximately $225,000 for her recent fight, matching the amount she received for her previous bout against Manon Fiorot. Due to her current #6 ranking in the flyweight division and her decisive victory over the #11-ranked Cortez, the 32-year-old is expected to earn more money.
Despite her devastating loss, Cortez garnerd a career-high $85,000 paycheck. She stepped in as a late replacement for Maycee Barber, who was initially slated to fight Namajunas but withdrew due to illness. This high-profile bout offered Cortez a significant recognition, although she lost.
Rose Namajunas Eyes Flyweight Title Shot
Namajunas pushed hard with constant takedowns to secure her victory. She defeated Tracy Cortez by decision, ending Cortezâs 11-fight win streak. Even though Cortez made a late attempt to make a come back, âThugâ was certainly unbeatable. After the win, the 32-year-old voiced her interest in a big fight, possibly a title bout or the womenâs BMF title.
âGive me the belt, man, I want it. Iâm Coloradoâs first UFC champion, so I want to bring the second one back here. Either that or maybe a womenâs BMF, I donât know!â
Currently, Alexa Grasso holds the UFC flyweight title, who will likely face her former rival Valentina Shevchenko next. If that match doesnât happen, Namajunas may just need to fight one more opponent before she can challenge for the title.
