Tracy Cortez has had it with fan speculation over her past relationship with Brian Ortega. Recently, the UFC women's flyweight took to Instagram, where she gave a fan a public lashing for spreading unsubstantiated rumors about the reason behind her breakup with Ortega.
While Cortez was careful to obscure the fan's username and not publicize what the actual comment made was, she took a screenshot of her own response and shared it on her Instagram stories. The 125-pounder pulled no punches, insulting the unknown fan for their views.
A screenshot of her Instagram story has been making the rounds on X/Twitter, drawing countless fans to a thread under the tweet. Cortez found support among most fans, one of whom praised her for standing up in the face of gossip surrounding her personal life.
