Tracy Cortez (born December 12, 1993) is an American mixed martial artist and competes in the flyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championships. Cortez was born in Phoenix, Arizona, United States. She has three brothers, Jose Cortez, J.R. Cortez, and Abraham Cortez. At the age of 14, she started training MMA after she watched her first MMA match where her oldest brother Jose, whose dream was to be a UFC fighter, fought against former UFC veteran Drew Fickett in November 2008. He won the fight via split decision. Jose stopped competing after the match with Fickett as he started to show cardiovascular problems and was later diagnosed with germ cell cancer. He passed away from cancer in 2011. Cortez got a tattoo in remembrance of her brother on her arm. She struggled through depression after her brother's passing but managed to get back on track with the help of her family and Henry Cejudo and Angel Cejudo, who are the best friends of her oldest brother Jose.
