The fact that she feels the need to wear fake eyelashes during a fight is concerning.
She's from Cali, they where Them like that we'll mostly the wanna be hood ratchets
@@heckalydalii200 was that supposed to be English?
😂😂
@jimmyrodriguez5670 no it was French you boomer
@@heckalydalii200 boomer?
Cortez simps were saying she could beat Alexa Grasso 😂😂 can you imagine what Grasso would do to her if Rose could drop her..
Jesus you casual you’re acting like Grasso is leagues above her. We’re talking girls fighting here, man. 🤦
@@josiffexplosiff1 🫵🤣 love it when clowns expose themselves
Valintina was on a league of her own except for nunes but the alexa beat valintina twice so yeah you dont no this sport at all buddy your worse then a casuel@josiffexplosiff1
Imagine doing the she beat this fighter so she can definitely beat this other fighter type of math lol show how much you know about combat sports. @@danelhernandez4875
Alexa and rose are on the same level brah
Is the eye lash ok ???😂😂😂😂
When did it fall off?
She had to remove them to make weight.
@@Beastt. The Thug punched it off in 1st round
You virgins are weird
Relax p Diddy
The old no excuses, proceeded to make excuses.
No excuses, but I didn't have a full fight camp. Also, I hurt my toe.
Who cares
Fan culture is to immediately label any reason for loss as an excuse.
Well, I mean the question was basically what’s your excuse? How else do you answer that without giving an excuse?
@@lexorcism well in their defense isn’t listing your reason for falling short, considered an excuse. Like almost the exact definition.
Can't belive people actually tried to say her lashes were natural 😂
People think she's actually hot too 🤣 there are plenty regular women I've seen who look better
@@Joe-oj4rh That part's subjective, don't be dumb
@@Joe-oj4rh Shes pretty but not mega hot to brag about. They act like shes humble, she's not humble. That's what i don't like. Her weigh ins without makeup tho she looked like trash. But overall she is not a good fighter.
@@Joe-oj4rh she has a hot body, but face she is mid.
😂🤡 @@Soten_Bori
That happens when you are too worried about your eyelashes falling or makeup being ruined ..
Probably not but you’re entitled to your own judgement
You virgins are weird
Show some respect child. She 'aint sitting at home all day playing grand theft auto. She took a fight with two weeks notice and fought at the highest level. Its wierd that you incels criticize girls for wearing too little and too much make up.
@@gayealisir5661 literally. i saw mma guru go on some lame tirade about how cortez only cares about her appearance and tries to market it more so than actually trying to win a fight. people are weird
@@gayealisir5661 I ain't kid dude I do kick boxing b.tch ass
I figured she would lose but she did way better than I thought.
Really how so? She got taken down and beat at her own game. Rose was a step ahead of her the whole time. Tracy was frustrated and kept asking her to meet her in the middle she ain't Max Holloway lol!
@@Asuma492 she did better because I thought she wouldn’t be able to land much of anything and also get completely out grappled. Also thought she would gas out. She held her own
@@jamarcusthomas9233 you thought Rose would out grapple Tracy? When was Rose known to be a grappler?
@@jamarcusthomas9233she didn’t land much, rose out struck her
Same thing, feel this is such a good learning experience for her.
Cortez is over hyped, she is average, top 15 at best.
And the excuses are already flowing, btw she was scheduled to fight Miranda Maverick next week, so she was in camp and ready.
But rose is levels above right now, remember when tony was going to fight Khabib and than gaethje stepped in and demolished tony , he was preparing for Khabib and Tracy was preparing for Miranda 🤷♂️
@marcoramirez313 that's not evena good comparison tony lost, rose won. Tracy ain't no Justin geathje
@@marcoramirez313tony cut weight like a dummy to prove a point then had to cut weight again in less than a week to fight gaycheeks. i get what youre saying but tony was already comprised by his own toughness or stupidity
Womans division always been light. Excepts for Valentina and Rose
She’s also average on looks😂. Strip off all the fake and she could probably be a 4/10
No more fake eyelashes. Natural es lo ideal.
I don't think that they should be allowed. They are there to fight, not for sports illustrated photo shoot.
@@Nullone36 agreed
😂😂😂😂😂😂ridiculo cortez @@mickiswitzer2176
@mi😂😂😂😂No doubt !!ckiswitzer2176
@@mickiswitzer2176they can do whatever they wants lol. U shut up
No disrespect but she's a stiff B+ level fighter. After the first round you knew she had no chance.
B+ is still good...
You sure about that?
6-0 vs the best in the world?
B+?
Short notice?
You just love being negative, probably due to your own lack of accomplishments.
No disrespect just typical.
I see alot of Stiffness when I watch her 😳
@@mikemichaels2914oh yea im stiff alright
Disrespect shown - from a clown.
lol “If I had a full camp”. You were already scheduled to fight next week! Were you not preparing for that fight?
Miranda n Rose are different fighters.
@cjb3377 who knew you could be this stupid 🤣
@@whypulloutproductionsShe specified camp. Try again.
@@whypulloutproductionsexcuses,😂😂😂cope. she got fog walked. she to worried about trying to be some npc Hollywood weirdo . no wonder tcity dumped her. her lips look horrible all those injections. she so fake
I don’t think you understand what a training camp is
unprepared for the matchup yea but not for a fight, was set to fight in a 7 days from now
Foreal this wasent no 2 week notice she was already in training camp preparing for her fight. Litterly just got moved 1 week ahead
Completely different style. Miranda maverick and rose namajunas could not be more different. It’s not about being in shape. Fighters should always be in shape. It’s about matchups
@@TroubleOnTheWaters literally just said she was unprepared for matchup but not a fight
I think she did great! Of course I was expecting Rose to stop her or mop the floor with her but I gave Tracy the last round. Tracy looked the strongest and landed the harder shots in the 5th round. I had the fight Rose 4 to Tracy 1. Tracy was preparing to fight Maverick who has turned out to be a disappointment. Rose wasn't on the radar for Tracy as Tracy had been fighting a lot lower competition. For Tracy it was two week notice fighting at high altitude against a fighter that lives and trains at high altitude in the same place they are fighting. Tracy was also fighting a two time former champ that is still in her prime. Rose KO'd hall of famer Joanna and then beat her again. Rose KO'd the current champ Weili and later beat her again. Plus Tracy's toe was a balloon! Good showing by Tracy hopefully her cut heals up and she can make it to Noche UFC.
She was eating jabs while pulling down her booty shorts 🤦🏻♂️ she’s not top 15
I knew Tracy striking was basic and Rose would dominate her the striking aspect.The shocking thing how easily Rose won the grappling exchanges
Her makeup cushioned the blows
Brian Ortega comparisons are wild 😅
No it’s not. Not even your thought you head it enough times that you believe it.
10 years ago Brian Ortega made a decision...
She makes up excuses of having no excuses just like Ortega too lol
That eye lash that went flying into the octagon wasnt glued properly
lol, she should of taken them eyelashes off instead of cutting her hair. They were pretty thick, probably the same weight! 🤔
It was glued on short notice, needed full camp to be fully glued
@@isidrotapia8391 bahaha 😂
@@isidrotapia8391 HAhAha!
Those were eyelash strips broke hoes put them on... you can get them individually placed and then they don't pop off like Mrs. Potato head pieces... ask me how I know? My wife gets spoiled i guess?
No excuses besides the last 20 I just gave in this interview 😂😂
They both had a two week notice to prepare for each other. And she had a training camp because she was scheduled to fight next week. Rose is just an experienced fighter and we saw that tonight. But Tracy showed she has good cardio.
spot on!
Rose had a full camp, at elevation and just a change in opponent to a lesser opponent. Cortez had to cut her camp short, she was not training for a fight at elevation, and she was taking a big step up in fighting a two time former champion that beat two of the greatest women champions in her division. Big difference.
@@cobracommander9138 Tracy had a full camp too. She was scheduled to fight next week, her fight got moved a week earlier. Plus before the fight she stated multiple times the the elevation did not affect her and she got accustomed to it after her first day ther. But go ahead make more excuses for her maybe the over turn the win.
@@heckalydalii200 It was two weeks notice that she was fighting sooner. Of course Tracy isn't going to say that elevation affects her. Tracy doesn't need excuses because she did great. Rose under performed. Rose should have KO'd or mopped the floor with Tracy and got on the Mic and asked for her title shot. Instead Rose was getting beat in the last round.
@cobracommander9138 so in other words rose looked horrible, and still beat Tracy wich looked great in your opinion. Tracy on her best day couldn't win rose on her worst day
Her offense is so sloppy and it showed tonight
She would destroy you
@@gutikush4394 who??? lmaooo
😂😂@@gutikush4394she suks.
@gutikush4394 The female body is not made for fighting so no She's not beating A grown man
@@gutikush4394 He'd destroy you tho
They always say that short notice if I had a full camp I would win 😂 naw you lost plain and simple. Rose would of won short notice or full camp
I’m saying rose is a beast I’m glad she won Tracy is only popular cuz she hot
@@BullZEye_1 lol 😆 I don’t think she’s hot to be honest but everyone has a preference 😆
Yeah rose killed it.
And your loser ass still watching regardless
get a grip 🤡
@@frankthetank819she hot for mma standards lol
@@Eduardo-wl4vp she ight
Tracey “ eyelash” Cortez.
Eyelashless
She’s so phoney.
Her head is bigger than her whole body 😂.
@BeenRedeemed-f6d
And you notice is due to the boyish hairstyle
Anyone who isn't a casual MMA fan knew Rose would dominate her. Just on a completely different level. Looking forward to the OF debut.
More than you'll ever amount to that's for sure lil bro
@@jamessullivan4612 girls fights ***
Can’t believe people thought she was gonna win
@@jamessullivan4612 Tracy deserved that L. And you need to stop simpin lil man
@@Kashkash1-n8hno one actually thought she'd win 😂
I knew it was over as soon as I saw that she's fighting a chick with shaved head
Before the fight Tracy was saying that fighting 1 week earlier wouldn’t make a difference since she was in camp already immediately after losing cuts her prep time from the true 3 weeks to now saying 2 weeks while being un prepared?? She using the excuse of not being prepared instead of being honest that there are levels to mma ufc especially and rose was clearly multiple levels above Tracy and even with a full camp “1 week longer” the result would be the same if not a stoppage with rose only having 3 weeks to switch her game plan from a well rounded barber to tracy
Tracy "½Eyelashes" Cortez
theres levels to fighting and rose showed that she is way beyond cortez
@@rogdawg123 make it up as you go?
Thats what I thought up until round 5. She came out differently and with conviction and she actually won the round. I was like “whoa what happened? Where was this the entire fight?” Lol
@@robinmorales5365 Rose just kinda coasted in that round. she was already up 4-0
yeah tracy looked pretty good in round 5 but oh well... hopefully she learns from this loss and comes back better next time @robinmorales5365
Besides the knockdown, she didn’t do that bad considering the huge step up in competition. Just was clearly outmatched skill-wise and waited too long to try and make it a dogfight.
What fight did you watch Timberlake
She didn't "wait". She was only able to walk Rose down when she became tired. Rose was dominating her in the standup.
@@Pclub4ever I don’t think Rose was ever tired, she’s never been one to fade - I think she just let off the gas in rounds 3-5 for whatever reason. Tracy obviously knew she had to get a finish in the 5th thus leading to her to be more assertive and aggressive - that same approach would’ve really benefited her in the previous rounds is the point. Just my opinion tho and I do believe Rose would’ve won regardless.
She took that fight on a 2 week notice while training for a 3 round fight in a smaller cage. She fought a 5 round fight against a champ in Colorado. Rose also trains in Denver. Y’all crazy
@@Tac0maAr0ma Rose has always been someone to fade in later rounds. Watch her 2nd fight with Andrade and Joanna. Do you even watch mma? Serious question.
Tracy didn't just "decide" to be better than Rose. She was tentative in the first rounds because she got dropped and only started being more aggressive when Rose was fading and not putting as much power into her shots. Fighting is between two people, use your brain.
With no eye lash and no makeup 💄 she looks different
@@bilalaldabagh
Add now a tomboy look for the next 12 months as well
All these professionals in the comments I wonder why nobody heard of them 🤨
😂😂😂 simpleton ☝️☝️
@@smoke617 yes you are
@@MrOpportunity45 yes you are
She lasted tho guys, gotta give her some respect too. She did take long to push bc she was giving Rose pressure with them strikes towards the end.
Rose eased up in round 5. No reason to take any chances it was already in the bag.
She did well under the circumstances. She went 5 rounds, on short notice, at high altitude, with fake eye lashes & lost one mid-fight but she still looks like she can get it.
She showed heart she went all five rounds got caught taken down for people who don’t know that is excruciating to do cut weight, then come out to fight and put yourself on the line we all got to see her cardio people thought it was weak but there was no issue I can’t wait to see her fight again there will be many fights her way and she has a great mind and attitude much respect to her tonight and always it was a great fight.
She not top 15 material at this point
Did she put the eyelash back on for interview? I think she more pretty natural look. Where is eyelash and will it be auctioned for Ortegas therapy sessions?
Ortega is married now, clown.
😂y’all be simping for her before the fight now y’all making jokes about her after she loses, you lot are weird as fk
I think the ones making jokes aren’t the simps but are the people who turned on her because the annoying simps over hyping her
Lmao she put the lashes back in after getting them knocked out
Too worried about her looks.
The hair, makeup, eye lashes, too worried
@mariadejesusromero5676
Well the hair won't be the same for at least 12 months
I felt like she wasn’t ready for a fight as big as this just yet. She learned a lot though I bet and I know next time we’ll see a better fighter.
Her mom and brother were smiling on her from Heaven❤️
She really surprised me, especially with her cardio. It's not easy going five rounds while defending so many takedowns. Rose has so much experience and I think that made the difference. She knew when to steal the round and how to diffuse Cortez' ground game. Wonderful fight considering she had to replace someone in a main event.
She said you can go 5 5s on 55th st cuhh
She a custard though
She Thought The Fight Was Something Nifty
How can you hate on her, she fought up in the rankings, went the distance, and gained experience against a future hall of fame and potential double champ fighter in Rose Namajunas, after last night's fight I have nothing but respect for Tracy Cortez after last night
I mean… the whole build up she was like over confident and saying she hasn’t fought anyone like me. Then she gets defeated and shes like uhhhh I was unprepared, it was short notice, I hurt my toe
So thats the first thing that comes to her mind? Funny how if she had won, her taking it on 2 weeks notice would be bragging rights. That's why its so shameful to bring it up after you lose. You took a chance at greatness, fell short, and now that same risk you took is now your excuse. Yuck......
She lied. She had a full camp for Mavrick.
Hair cut off, but the eyelashes stayed? Commissioner needs to be fired.
Fired over that?
Secret Juice didn't pan out, huh
Was just another pump and dump scheme
😂😂
First thing outta her mouth was a list of excuses 😂
Just stating facts you 🤡
THUG ROSE!!!!!!
Cortez was more concerned about looking good than actually being good
These comments are ruthless
"I WAITED TO LONG TO PUSH" THIS AINT A DELIVERY ROOM AND YOUR NOT IN LABOR! BUT EARLIER SHE SAID "SHES NEVER FOUGHT A 125ER LIKE ME." DONE WITH CORTEZ.
I'm confused how Rose can lose to Esparza twice, then out wrestle somebody like Tracy. Doesn't make sense to me.
she was in camp already for her original fight scheduled for 7/20. stop lying. also rose beat her at her own game. but unlike tracy, rose knows how to finish people on the ground. several submission attempts. tracy's never done that.
Consuela 😂
Fake eye lashes will only get you so far in life.
Focus on havin ur hands up rather pulling up ur shorts
Great job Tracy.
Super impressive outing against a top 5er (anyway)
Clearly you are still improving. Thanks!
Tracy seemed so stiff and way too into her own head. Her guns blazing approach seemed to be the most effective but she took way too long to do that. Rose was always gonna win the technical side of the fight.
Went out there and survived against a vet! Win or lose, she put on for la raza 🔥🔥🙌🏽
She makes raza look bad
Brian Ortega lost his eyelash 😂
She fought brilliantly. Made me proud jokes of eye lashes who cares. The truth is Rose was going down as Cortez had more and nerve and energy as the rounds passed. The favoured Rose but Cortez was clearly able to take it and it showed.
she wont make it in the top 10. she is a prelim opener at best. they going to feed her to karine silva
always have to give a ton of credit to women with such looks as her to choose this sport for a living, they could be doing anything else but are still brave enough to step inside the octagon and probably get their pretty face messed up lol
Rose ❤
hey there @TraacyCortez you did well for it to be a short notice fight okay. These fools and the comments they can have their opinion but it takes guts to fight in that cage girl. great fight
Ha. Not surprised.
She’s my cousin, and she’s the sweetest person ever. She put in so much effort for this fight. She did well for fighting someone as good as Rose.
@gorebosslolz
If she is your cousin hope she has a good hairstyle and more On call she has lost what makes in some people's eyes a woman
A bob says your old and not waiting to treat yourself right
Tracy will be having a long 12 months just for that boyish hairstyle is grown back out
@@ninobarone3874 what are you even waffling about? you make no sense.
@gorebosslolz
Your missing the point
I see
1 she was forced to cut her hair off....
Now for it to grow back to the length she previously had is going to of corse take time in her case 12 months before her hairstyle is back with the length she was forced to cut off
2nd hope the guys or possibly people she is open to dating enjoy girls with a hairstyle like their own mother
Brian some where celebrating
Full camp shed still get wrecked
If you're going to cry and make excuses, probably not the sport for you. "last time I fought, I went on a killer streak...", against people no one has ever heard of.
Sorry dear, Rose is clearly Da beast. 🌹
Lol she made the big mistake underestimating Rose and trying to beg for a match at the Sphere. So far she ain’t shedding the “All look no talent” trope she’s under.
You had an 11 fight win streak... What were you so unprepared for😒.... Also says she wants to get right back in there. Right after saying she was unprepared for her Rose fight.... She needs to stop making excuses... That is not a champions persona..
Female version of Brian Ortega
👇 not even close to the same level as Rose Namajunas. Those eyelashes gave her 5 more horsepower though, too bad she had to cut all of her hair off to make weigh-in maybe that was her strength... like Samson😂
no need to make excuses u got your azz whoop
I hate when the Excuses happen never take the fight im sick of hearing this bs fighters.
Her eye lash has more courage than most of you keyboard warriors
She’s got a long ways to go if she wants to get a title shot. Rose exposed her!
Ortega having a good laugh right now
She said he didn't measure up.
Back to the drawing board babe
the top of division got mad skills
Short notice, she did her best. We all know rose is elite, you gotta have a full camp to even realistically try to win. Good last round tho GG.
Was not short notice, and she did have a full training camp
man if tracy focused more on her training and fighting rather then her looks, she would be super dangerous.
You pass by dozens of women every day that are far more attractive than cortez...
Lip fillers, botox and fake lashes during a fight is wild 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
I hope she doesn't care what people think cuz excuses aren't likable
Can someone verify if this is the girl thats been with multiple guys in the ufc.
She still the sexiest woman in the game
Too hairy like most Mexicans women.
"took it on a 2 week notice" you were gonna fight next week! you had been training...the 2 week notice thing doesnt work here sorry...stop making excuses.
I don’t care wat anyone says Tracy Cortez proved herself an will come back harder
Don’t make excuses omg!! So sick of all the excuses after a loss! You fought someone better that day you lost so take it and excuses just make ya look foolish
Bruh she only landed like twice. Wasn’t even close to winning a round.
If you ain’t got nothing to prove to the world then what you doing on the world stage of Mixed martial arts. She’s more focused on looking the part but not being the part
legend has it: her fake eye lash still in the air floating
Thug goes in there after buzzing the dome real quick for some light sparring work. Knocking off eyelashes lol.
Rose hit Tracy so hard her eyelash flew off. In the fight. - She look like she had one eye.
Rose made tracy eat her words, tracy is old news now.
If you're not ready don't fight. And don't make excuses. So much for that so called mexican fighting spirit. Every nationality has it.
