Wang CongvsTracy Cortez

Then she went to Australia and beat Bruna Brasil, landing 104 strikes and going 2 for 2 on takedowns. Most recently in February, she handled Eduarda Moura with crazy volume, landing 147 strikes at 75% accuracy. The only blemish was that submission loss to Gabriella Fernandes in Macau. This is a classic striker versus striker battle, but Cortez has shown she can mix in the wrestling when needed. She landed 50 strikes against Blanchfield before things went south, and she's always been tough and durable. Wang's volume is insane though, and that southpaw stance gives everyone problems.

Cortez trains out of Fight Ready and knows she needs this one bad. Two losses in a row at flyweight puts you in a dangerous spot. The stakes are real here. Cortez needs to prove she still belongs in the rankings conversation, while Wang is trying to break into that top tier of the division.
