The UFC heads to Denver, Colorado for the first time since 2018 for a jam-packed UFC Denver Fight Night event.
Headlining this fight card is the former UFC strawweight champion Rose Namajunas who will be taking on short-notice replacement Tracy Cortez in an exciting women's flyweight matchup.
Namajunas will be looking to continue her winning ways in her new weight class meanwhile, Cortez will be looking to secure the biggest of her career when she steps inside the Octagon this weekend.
This highly anticipated fight night event has a ton of great fights to get excited for and we are here to look at the best prop bets that will have you cashing out this weekend at UFC Denver.
Best Prop Odds: Fatima Kline by KO/TKO (+1400) Bet365 Sportsbook
Fatima Kline 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.
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.
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 this fight goes, as long as Kline doesn't get stuck underneath Jasudavicius or against the cage she should be able to put it on Jasudavicius on the feet and as she fades Kline will take over and land the big shot putting her away as she predicts.
Best Prop Odds: Rose Namajunas by Submission (+800) DraftKings 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.
It's going to be up to Namajunas to use her counter-grappling to avoid getting taken down and in those exchanges when Cortez gets tired there's a chance she can take her back and sink in the rear-naked choke and get the submission victory.
Best Prop Odds: Drew Dober by Knockout (+210) BetRivers 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.
If Dober can weather the early storm from Silva and drag this fight into the later rounds we can expect a patented Drew Dober knockout midway through this fight getting him back into the win column.
