UFC fighter Tracy Cortez managed to hit the 126-pound weight limit for her headline bout in Denver on Saturday, but not without a dramatic last-minute measure: she cut off her hair to make weight.
The 30-year-old UFC fighter Tracy Cortez faced Rose Namajunas in the main flyweight contest and found herself half a pound over the limit at Friday's weigh-in.
To make weight, she decided to cut several inches off her long hair, a move that caught attention as she posed for cameras holding the hair she had cut.
Cortez, who has a winning streak of 11 fights, stepped up to fight Namajunas on short notice after the original opponent, Maycee Barber, withdrew due to health reasons.
