Multiple Updates Announced for UFC Fight Night Denver Card on Nov. 10

There have been several revisions to the upcoming UFC Fight Night 139 card.

The promotion revealed the updates to The Denver Post on Tuesday, including a newly-added bantamweight matchup pitting Mark De La Rosa against Jordan Espinosa. UFC Fight Night 139 takes place at the Pepsi Center in Denver on Nov. 10 and is headlined by a featherweight showdown between Frankie Edgar and Chan Sung Jung.

The other changes to UFC Fight Night 139 came as a result of injuries or withdrawals. Hannah Cifers will replace Maia Stevenson and face Maycee Barber in a women’s strawweight bout, while Thiago Moises will step in for Chris Gruetzemacher and meet Beneil Dariush at lightweight.

Meanwhile, injuries have resulted in the cancellations of two other bouts: Alonzo Menifeld vs. Saparbek Safarov and Ricky Simon vs. Ricardo Ramos.

De La Rosa is coming off his first Octagon triumph, a second-round submission of Elias Garcia at UFC Fight Night 133 on July 14. Espinosa, meanwhile, enters his promotional debut on a four-fight winning streak, including a pair of victories on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series.

Cifers will make her first UFC foray on a five-bout winning streak and is 8-2 as a professional overall. The unbeaten, 20-year-old Barber scored a UFC deal with a third-round stoppage of Jamie Colleen on the Contender Series in June.

A former Resurrection Fighting Alliance champion, Moises punched his ticket to the Octagon with a first-round stoppage of Gleidson Moraes Cutis on the Brazilian version of the Contender Series. Dariush will look to halt a three-bout winless skid that includes losses to Alexander Hernandez and Edson Barboza and a draw against Evan Dunham.
