UFC featherweight Brian Ortega looks like he has got a girlfriend in Tracy Cortez
Brian Ortega has had a brilliant UFC career. Ever since making his debut on the 26th of July in 2014, he has been splendid. Barring two injury losses and a close decision loss against Alexander Volkanovski, he has won 7 fights in the UFC. Brian Ortega’s relationship with Tracy Cortez is known to everyone, but they decided to part ways and no one knows the reason behind the same.
The number 3 ranked UFC featherweight will certainly go down as one of the greatest UFC featherweights of all time.

Brian Ortega is a charmer, off the cage as well. In 2021, Tracy Cortez, a UFC women’s flyweight, posted a couple of photos with Ortega on Twitter, with the caption:
“Treat her like a Queen & watch how she’ll hold you down. You got me for life!”
The pair went strong for more than a year and a half before Cortez deleted all her posts related to Ortega from her Instagram account – signalling the end of the road for the MMA power couple.
Since then, both Cortez and Ortega have been single, with T-City facing the brunt of fans online for ‘fumbling the bag.’
