Here's the match video of Tracy Cortez vs Stephanie Egger from last night's UFC show in Abu Dhabi. This fight is at Bantamweight. When Bea Malecki pulled out of this fight, Stephanie was brought in on short notice. She is from Switzerland. She has fought in Invicta and RIZIN but mostly she has fought at home. She is a BJJ black belt and she has a size advantage over Tracy. And that's because Tracy was a Flyweight when she was in Invicta. She trains at Ready Fight in Scottsdale, AZ. Her coach George Corrales wasn't in her corner as he is preparing The Korean Zombie for his fight next week. This is the second straight time Tracy faced a short notice replacement. Based on this fight, Tracy is very well coached. She took Stephanie down and dominated her for three rounds. Stephanie even landed an upkick to the side of Tracy's head in round two and that didn't faze her. So I scored the fight 30-27 for Tracy. Obviously I would like to see her against better opposition. It was mentioned on the broadcast that Tracy went to the UFC PI to help her cut weight. If she has mastered that, I would like to see her go back to Flyweight because she is undersized as a Bantamweight. Enjoy the video!
