Who is Tracy Cortez fighting next?
The UFC's upcoming card set for Mexican Independence Day is taking shape, and one of the notable matchups will be between flyweight contenders Tracy Cortez and Jasmine Jasudavicius.
Scheduled to take place in Las Vegas on September 16, the fight card is set to be headlined by a women's flyweight title rematch between champion Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko.
Tracy Cortez joined the UFC in 2019 and has remained unbeaten since her professional debut. After competing as a bantamweight, she moved down to the flyweight division and secured two consecutive decision victories. Her most recent win against Melissa Gatto at UFC 274 earned her the No.14 spot in the UFC's flyweight rankings.
On the other hand, Jasmine Jasudavicius made her UFC debut just last year. Though she started with a win against Kay Hansen, she faced a setback in her next bout with a decision loss to Natalia Silva. However, she quickly rebounded with back-to-back wins over Gabriella Fernandes and Miranda Maverick earlier this year.
