Going into UFC 317, Tracy Cortez was haunted by her loss against Rose Namajunas.
Cortez’s perfect record inside the Octagon came to a crashing halt around this same time last year when she suffered a unanimous decision defeat against the two-time flyweight titleholder.
Since then, Cortez has bounced back, earning an impressive victory against Viviane Araujo during International Fight Week in Las Vegas. Appearing on The Ariel Helwani Show, Cortez detailed how difficult it was to shake off the ‘Thug’ Rose fight and offered some insight into the advice that finally helped her look to the future instead of focusing on the past.
