UFC Denver Best Bets and Predictions July 13

Rose Namajunas vs Tracy Cortez Betting Odds and Prediction

Best Odds: Rose Namajunas (-200) BetMGM Sportsbook

Rose Namajunas was getting ready to face off against surging flyweight contender Maycee Barber until she had to withdraw from the bout due to injury.

Now, the former strawweight champion will face off against one of the division's top prospects Tracy Cortez who's taking this fight on about two weeks' notice.

This is certainly a much different matchup than Namajunas was getting ready for but isn't one that she can't overcome especially in the state of Colorado where she resides giving her a huge advantage coming into this fight.

She is at her best when she's utilizing her speed and movement to keep out of the range of her opponents.

• From there, she can then land her kicks and punches at range where Cortez will be at a disadvantage

It's going to be up to Namajunas to use her counter-grappling to keep this fight on the feet as Cortez will be looking to make sure this fight hits the mat.

• As long as this fight is on her feet she should have no issues with outstriking Cortez for the majority of the fight and getting her second victory inside the Octagon.

Drew Dober vs Jean Silva Betting Odds and Prediction

Best Odds: Drew Dober (-105) DraftKings Sportsbook

Drew Dober the crowd favorite was getting ready for a fight against Mike Davis only for that fight to be canceled after Davis suffered an injury during fight camp.

• As game as Dober is, he accepted a fight against a dangerous fight Jean Silva to remain on the fight card to fight in front of his hometown crowd.

Dober is coming off a tough-luck loss to surging contender Renato Moicano in his last fight. Against Moicano, Dober had him hurt but Moicano's grappling was the difference maker in that fight.

Luckily, Dober gets a fight against Silva who will give him the striking match that he wants.

In this matchup, Dober will have the upper hand in terms of experience against the higher level of competition as well as fighting at altitude.

• Silva taking this fight on short notice will be the biggest factor in this matchup if he doesn't get the knockout early in this fight.
• One thing is for certain, Dober is going to push the pace and fight at a high tempo not allowing Silva to get comfortable picking his shots and maintaining the center of the Octagon as he did against Charles Jourdain.

If Dober can weather the early storm from Silva and drag this fight into the later rounds we can expect a potential late finish from Dober as he gets back on track this weekend in Denver, Colorado.

Fatima Kline Vs Jasmine Jasudavicius

Best Odds: Fatima Kline (+105) DraftKings Sportsbook

has taken the regional scene by winning all 6 of her professional bouts securing a title in two divisions under the Cage Fury Fighting Championship banner.

• Of those six wins, she has finished three of them wins 1 KO/TKO and 2 submissions.

Kline was already on the UFC's radar as she signed to fight on the Contender Series about a week ago at a chance to secure a contract but with the opportunity to fight on short notice against Jasmine Jasudavicius this weekend, she couldn't say no.

• Kline will be putting her undefeated record on the line when she steps up on just about a week's notice to take on the stiffest competition of her career this weekend, something that most fighters will not do.

Many debuting fighters at just 6-0 aren't ready for the big stage but not Kline. Kline has been one of the top female prospects outside the UFC for quite some time and she gets in high-level training with current UFC flyweight contender Erin Blanchfield.

While many fight fans might not know Kline by name but they will know her by her performance this weekend against Jasudavicius.

• As for this matchup, many fighters don't match up well against the lumbering Jasudavicius but Kline does standing in at 5'6" she has the frame to compete with her length and she has the grappling chops to make this a stalemate in the clinch and grappling situations.
• When it comes to striking, Kline has a clear advantage in terms of power and technical striking abilities.
• In space, Kline will be the one to land the heavier shots and land more volume.

As this fight goes, as long as Kline doesn't get stuck underneath Jasudavicius or against the cage she could keep her winning streak alive and get her first win in her UFC career.
