Overview
- Cortez will fight Wang Cong on Saturday, July 11, on the early prelims of UFC 329 at T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and expects the card’s large audience to raise her profile.
- She says she changed her preparation after a November submission loss to Erin Blanchfield and is training with more purpose to produce a dominant performance rather than a cautious win.
- Cortez has outlined a tactical plan that leans on higher pace, greater punch volume, and wrestling pressure to blunt Wang’s one‑or‑two‑punch striking style.
- She has publicly pushed back on intense fan scrutiny of her personal life and says she limits what she shares so attention stays focused on her work in the cage.
- A convincing showing at UFC 329 could move Cortez up the crowded women’s flyweight ranks and, she says, put her two wins away from title contention.
