Brian Ortega and Tracy Cortez are getting into a social media war that seems to be intensifying with a one-upping game. The couple separated earlier this year but maintained privacy about their split. However, that is no longer the case. Murmurs about the reasons for their split ran wild on social media and T-City seems to have taken offense to the rumors of him ‘fumbling’ in the relationship.
Ortega tweeted a cryptic statement recently that dismissed the idea of him ‘fumbling’. The 32-year-old also stated that he ‘threw it away’, alluding that he ended the relationship voluntarily on his own behalf. Cortez, who seems visibly upset because of the public display of their relationship issues, replied promptly and called out Brian Ortega for ‘throwing shade’.
“Let me just say that to this day, I’ve yet to say anything negative about you or bash your name! Don’t start throwing shade now. I’m blessed. #MoveWithLove,” Cortez tweeted.

A brief history of Tracy Cortez and Brian Ortega’s relationship
Fellow UFC fighters Brian Ortega and Tracy Cortez’s relationship came in the public eye in 2020. The couple, which looked a perfect match for each other, was frequenting the training facilities together and often posted pictures on social media.

After the rumors of their engagement started making round on social media, the 29-year-old fighter made it official while responding to UFC commentator Laura Sanko’s comment on Instagram. However, the couple suddenly deleted their photos with each other on social media earlier in 2023, marking the end of their relationship.
