Tracy Cortez Thrives Off Pressure

For as composed as Tracy Cortez is ahead of the biggest fight of her life, milestones are still milestones. Making it to the UFC, winning that first fight in the Octagon, getting on a poster for the first time — they’re things that’ll stir up emotions in the most stoic of fighters. So, when Cortez is talking with UFC.com about seeing her face on the poster for the first time, she can’t help but feel a type of way.

“I've still yet to process it only because we're working, but yeah, it's just a dream come true being here,” Cortez told UFC.
