Insider info
Wang Cong favored — picked against Tracy Cortez lean UFC 329 · July 5, 2026
strikinggood
grapplinggood
Picked against, with the analyst framing her path as needing the takedowns and doubting she has much success on the feet against this particular opponent.
A good striker with good volume, light on her toes, with real boxing combinations -- though she tends to get backed up, which is a specific problem against an opponent who cuts off the cage well. Good grappler with a strong double leg, solid submission defense, good top pressure if she gets on top, and takedown defense of her own that holds up; her only career loss came from being knocked down (not submission-vulnerable) and finished on the ground after that knockdown.
