Fight Overview

Tracy Cortez, a ranked Mexican-American grappler riding a decision win over Viviane Araujo, faces Wang Cong, the Chinese kickboxing and Sanda world champion who announced herself with the second-fastest finish in UFC women flyweight history. Cortez thrives on high-volume wrestling and control, while Wang Cong carries elite striking credentials that could make this a sharp contrast of styles between the cage floor and the stand-up.

Keys to Victory

Tracy Cortez

  1. Shoot early and often to deny Wang Cong any rhythm in the striking exchanges.
  2. Chain takedown attempts together to keep Wang Cong defending rather than countering.
  3. Grind out top control in the later rounds to neutralize Wang Cong power-shot threat.

Wang Cong

  1. Use lateral movement and sharp counters to stuff takedowns before they reach the cage.
  2. Land damaging body kicks early to slow Cortez wrestling-first game plan.
  3. Punish Cortez in the pocket with speed combinations when she resets after failed takedowns.
