Tracy Cortez is set to fight Miranda Maverick at a UFC event on July 20, aiming to extend her 11-fight winning streak.
Tracy Cortez is gearing up for a hot summer. She’s got her sights set on extending her double-digit winning streak. And guess who’s standing in her way? That’s right, it’s Miranda Maverick.
Mike Heck from MMA Fighting spilled the beans. He got the scoop from some pretty reliable sources. Apparently, Cortez, with an impressive 11-1 record, is all set to square off against Maverick (13-5). The date? July 20. The place? None other than the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
Maverick, the cheeky one, was the first to break the news. She took to social media to announce the fight.
Cortez, she’s a tough cookie. Hasn’t tasted defeat since her UFC debut back in November 2019. That’s a solid 5-0 inside the octagon. Her winning streak? It stretches back to 2017. She’s won 11 straight fights overall. Her latest victory? A unanimous decision against Jasmine Jasudavicius.
But here’s the kicker. Cortez’s rise up the ranks has been a bit slow. Why, you ask? Well, she’s been a bit inactive. Only fought once in 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020.
Maverick, on the other hand, is still a spring chicken at 26. She’s had a decent run in her UFC career, going 6-3. She’s been flirting with a top-10 ranking. She’s won four of her last five fights. Her last two victories were against Andrea Lee and Priscila Cachoeira.
