From Tragedy to Triumph: The Inspiring Journey of UFC Fighter Tracy Cortez! I opened up about my personal life and journey as a UFC fighter. I talked about being the black sheep of my family and losing my mother and brother to cancer, which led me to become rebellious towards my father. However, I found solace in training and fighting, which became my hobby. Although some fighters disrespected me because I was the only female fighter, I kept moving forward and didn't let that discourage me. I envision becoming a champion in 2024 and wearing the belt, and I believe that gratitude has helped me get through tough times. Overall, I'm grateful for the support of amazing people in my life, and I'm excited to continue my journey in the UFC.
