Tracy Cortez

USA

Wins in return from long layoff
FlyweightUFC
September 16, 2023
Cortez defeated Jasmine Jasudavicius via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at Noche UFC on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
All things considered, Cortez looked pretty good in her first fight since May 2022. Typically known for her grappling, Tracy only attempted one takedown in this bout. It didn't land. Instead, Cortez went about beating up Jasudavicius on the feet, displaying a significant power edge and typically winning most of the striking exchanges between the two. Cortez is now a perfect 5-0 in the UFC, although the competition level she has gone up against (Jasudavicius, Melissa Gatto, Justine Kish, Stephanie Egger, Vanessa Melo) is fairly uninspiring. It should also be noted that all of those wins came via decision. Sooner or later, Cortez is going to get burned by leaving things to the judges.

Remains perfect in UFC
FlyweightUFC
May 7, 2022
Cortez defeated Melissa Gatto via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC 274 on Saturday in Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
It was a very easy fight to score, with Cortez winning the first and final frames, while Gatto took Round 2. Cortez fought reasonably well in her first bout in about 13 months. She controlled the pace of the fight on the feet and was able to keep Gatto pinned to the mat for long stretches at a time, particularly in the two rounds she won. On a negative note, Cortez did allow her opponent to connect on 3-of-6 takedown attempts. It ended up not hurting her, but that's an area Cortez will have to clean up moving forward. Eight of Cortez's ten professional wins have come via decision, so she appears to have very little margin for error as she attempts to rise up the rankings at 125 pounds.

Cortez will face Melissa Gatto in a flyweight fight at UFC 274 on May 7, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
The fight will be Cortez's first in over a year, as she pulled out of a scheduled matchup against JJ Aldrich in August for undisclosed reasons. She'll be looking to improve her UFC record to 4-0. Gatto hasn't lost since joining the promotion, either, picking up a pair of TKO victories.
