Tracy Cortez was given a grand welcome by her Abu Dhabi hotel and the UFC star enjoyed a party after defeating Stephanie Egger
UFC star Tracy Cortez had a reason to party after her win over Stephanie Egger on Fight Island 5.
She was up against debutant Stephanie Egger and won the fight via unanimous decision. The 26-year-old put on quite a show and picked up her eighth successive MMA win.
This was also Cortez’s second straight UFC win and great things seem to be in store for her.
Fight Island is located in Abu Dhabi and many stars have highlighted just how great the staff and people have been to them.

Party continues on
The fight ended at around 7AM local time since the UFC wants to keep the cards at convenient times for the US fans.
However, this didn’t stop Cortez from having a party after the clash. The 26-year-old shared a few videos of her having some champagne.
The 26-year-old also showed off some of the gifts given to her which included chocolates and more.
Cortez is one of the rising stars in the women’s division and it will be interesting to see what is next for her.
The only loss of her career came in her first fight and she was been brilliant since then. The Egger fight was her first in almost a year and she was expected to face Bea Malecki at the event.
However, the UFC changed her opponent without any reason and Egger was easily defeated by Cortez. The Flyweight still needs more wins to rank in the UFC but if she keeps performing at this rate, no one is going to stop her.
