"Not losing in front of ex he cheated on" - Fans react to reports of Tracy Cortez attending UFC Mexico City event featuring Brian Ortega

A tweet suggesting Brian Ortega's former girlfriend and UFC women's flyweight contender Tracy Cortez will be in attendance at his next fight at UFC Mexico City has left fight fans speculating.

'T-City' is set to return to active competition in a rematch against Yair Rodriguez this weekend at UFC Fight Night 237 at the Mexico City Arena. Interestingly, a seemingly sarcastic post on X, playing up on rumors of Cortez attending the fight card, has riled up MMA fans.

Earlier today, X user @400aybo took to the micro-blogging platform, claiming :

"TRACY CORTEZ will be in attendance for UFC Mexico City. I just dropped $500 on Ortega ML. This man is NOT losing in front of his ex that he cheated on. As a former cheater, I know the feeling of wanting to show your ex karma is not real, and you’re still successful after cheating."

Suffice it to say the hilarious post has drawn much attention, with fight fans flooding the comments section, noting their opinion on the matter.
