Decisions in, decisions out.

UFC Career

Cortez fought on Dana White's Contender Series 3.6 against Mariya Agapova and won a unanimous decision over three rounds. That is a professional fight but not part of her UFC record. Her UFC debut came on November 15, 2019, a unanimous decision over Vanessa Melo.

That win started the streak. Stephanie Egger in 2020 by unanimous decision. Justine Kish in 2021 by split decision. Melissa Gatto at UFC 274 in 2022, unanimous. Jasmine Jasudavicius in 2023, unanimous. Five UFC wins, five decisions, every one going the full three rounds.

The streak ended in a main event. On July 13, 2024, Cortez headlined against Rose Namajunas in a five-round fight and lost a unanimous decision. Our model rates Namajunas a strong opponent. A Viviane Araujo win at UFC 317 in 2025 (unanimous) put her back in the win column.

Then came two straight losses. At UFC 322 she met Erin Blanchfield, whom our model rates elite, and was submitted in the second round at 4:44. It is her only UFC loss by finish. At UFC 329 she dropped a unanimous decision to Wang Cong, another strong opponent.

Six wins, three losses, no knockouts.

Fighting Style

Cortez is a busy striker who lands more than most of the UFC roster. Her accuracy and defense sit around the UFC average, and she absorbs strikes at a typical rate, so her output is the part of her striking that stands out.

She is also an active wrestler. She goes for takedowns more often than most fighters and is hard to take down herself. She rarely hunts for submissions, and that is the one area where she is well behind the field.

The results fit that profile. All six of her UFC wins came by decision, and she has no UFC finishes. The one UFC fight that ended before the final bell was Blanchfield submitting her.
