A look into Tracy Cortez's career trajectory in the UFC
Tracy Cortez first caught the attention of UFC fans when she appeared on 'Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series' in 2019, defeating Mariya Agapova via unanimous decision to earn a contract with the UFC.
Cortez’s official UFC debut came later that year when she faced Vanessa Melo at UFC on ESPN+ 22, securing a unanimous decision victory. She continued her rise by defeating Stephanie Egger and Justine Kish despite some challenges, such as missing weight at UFC on ESPN 22. However, Cortez’s talent and resilience shone through as she consistently outclassed her opponents.
In 2023, Cortez faced Jasmine Jasudavicius at UFC Fight Night 227, where she delivered another unanimous decision victory. Though she faced setbacks, including the cancellation of fights due to medical issues, her career has been one of steady progress. Most recently, Cortez lost a bout against Rose Namajunas in July, but she is set for a rematch against Miranda Maverick in December, looking to bounce back stronger.
