The UFC can be pretty ruthless for all fighters leading up to the event, they have many things to endure but losing the weight in order to be eligible to fight has to be the hardest. We can all remember our favorite fighters undergoing excruciating dehydration methods in order to make weight. There has been more than one time where one of the fighters faints and they have to be taken to the hospital. It’s really, really dangerous. But it is a necessary step some of these fighters are willing to take in order to keep grinding for that stardom status. Tracy Cortez knew exactly how difficult fighting Rose Namajunas will, which is why a victory would help her climb from the flyweight’s division’s No. 11 spot. Rose is No. 6.
Clearly, this video shows to us how important it was for Tracy to make weight as she cried when she needed to cut her hair almost in half in order to make the weight. She was expecting to make weight without cutting her hair but that was just a last resort for her. Tomorrow, we get Tracy Cortez trying to beat No. 6 flyweight Rose Namajunas, a former UFC champion. Cortez missed half a pount initially but managed to lose that half a pound by cutting her hair. After missing weight the first time, Tracy returned 20 minutes later with less hair and making weight. It was inevitable to not cry for her at that point of extreme emotion.
