I know her pain; I lost 3 people to cancer, but she is a survivor. God bless her and my advice is be with the people that you love, because tomorrow is never promising.
@@MrMASH50 I don’t know about that. Mma is full of privileged dudes who went to college. Boxing is the sport of the poor, filled with people who fight to get themselves out of poverty and it’s more international. I’m a fan of both mma and boxing for the record.
@@Ryan-ix6dt boxing is bigger and recognize more as a sport around the world but my opinion still not changed. I just don't think many people know the names of 10 boxers without naming off the greats. This might be true about knowing 10 mma fighters but the trend def going in that direction. It's not to hate on boxing. as a skill its cool to watch but I'm not paying for a ppv. I'll watch on fightpass like I would a grappling match.

Man I teared up 3 times during this video, always been a fan of Tracy but this really took it to another level. Great work UFC, keep pumping out this type of content!
Tragic background. What resolve she has to get in there. The type of resolve that makes people champs. Love the story. Count your blessings or whatever people.
Jose cortez was an amazing guy. His brothers and sister looked up to him. Many of those who had the previllage of knowing him, really misses him. It is great seeing his sister fullfilling his dream. It sure brings back memories of him, seeing this video.
9:09 Crazy that D-Rod got passed up on a contract, he went to war against a tough guy and had a great, entertaining and clear win of a performance, imagine if he decided to call it quits after this and we never saw his career bloom.
I definitely know what she's going through, losing a parent hurts so damn much. Me losing my mom left a whole in my life cause she meant so much to me taking care of her while she was on hospice and losing her the same way it's crazy but she isn't suffering anymore.
Amazing how she’s turned her emotional life changing loss into fuel to get her where she wants to be. Something like that can’t be substituted for anything.
Omg..you had me in tears. You are an amazing person and you have a fighting spirit that will bring you through all the battles victorious. Your mother and brother are watching your every move and I can just imagine how proud they must be. Keep grinding girl..you got this!!! Xo:)
Loved this now I really respect cortez not only for looks but for a fighter she is! Looking forward to see her in the winning coloum! God bless Cortez! Peace
Wow! Tracy you are PHX! This snapshot of your journey is very inspirational and I've experience similar. As a former Marine, I know I too have the ability. What I felt in this clip has reignited the fire I've always had! THANK YOU!
Losing her big brother broke her heart. I lost my baby brother and it destroyed me. I love seeing people overcome, and most of the time it's bcuz of love. We all need love. ✌❤
Man this was emotional. I wish her the best in every Situation of her life and maybe Not tomorrow maybe Not today pero one day she will be Champion!! Greetings from germany .
holy totally changed my perspective on her. i relate to her so much coming from a hispanic household i understand completely.she’s the shit and have huge respect and admiration.
When someone has had a series of losses in their life it will take a toll on any human. It's all about the difficult work of turning tragedy into triumph. Good on this girl. Good luck in your future!
We need more of this kind of content. I love the deep dive into fighters lives, even the lesser known fighters. The UFC has such a diver roster of fighters from all over the world. They all have different experiences and stories, it's really cool to hear about their respective journeys. I hope we continue getting this content going forward.
Mexican family 101. What a beautiful true woman!.... Sometimes God needs them more than we do ,until we realize it it's never to late. God bless America 🇺🇲
Wow. Like a phoenix she rises from the ashes from the horror. From the despair. From the loss. She looks amazing with her killer bf. Ortega! You 2 are relationship goals. Wish you the best.
I know her pain; I lost 3 people to cancer, but she is a survivor. God bless her and my advice is be with the people that you love, because tomorrow is never promising.
Amen! Exactly my mom passed away this past Christmas and I miss her so much.
🙏🏼
God bless you all ❤

damn, shes really been through it. would love to see her succeed in her goal of the belt.
lol
Agreed. I can see her fighting for the flyweight title later on in 2022.
It's not out of the realm of possibility. There's a good chance by the time Tracy would be Top 5 Valentina will have retired.
