The main fight of UFC Denver, last Saturday (13), between Rose namajunas e Tracy Cortez, in the flyweight division (up to 56,7kg), created an unusual and funny moment that went viral on social media this Sunday (14). A well-aimed punch from 'Thug' to her opponent's face not only knocked her down, but also sent her false eyelashes flying into the air.
During a free exchange in the center from the octagon, Namajunas landed a straight right straight to Cortez's face. The blow was strong enough to stun the athlete and make her fall to the canvas. But what caught the eye was the fate of Tracy's false eyelashes, which fell off her face under the impact of the punch and floated through the air like butterflies.

The unusual scene was captured on camera and quickly spread across social media, generating memes and amusing comments. In a video circulating on the internet, it is possible to see Cortez sitting in her corner after the round, with only one of her false eyelashes intact.
Despite the funny moment, the fight itself was serious and Rose dominated Tracy from start to finish. The former strawweight champion used her superior striking and clinch technique to control the fight and secure victory by unanimous decision from the judges.
With the result, Namajunas approaches a new opportunity to compete for the UFC flyweight belt, while Cortez suffers his first defeat in the organization.
