At the event in São Paulo, Cowboyzinha would have the chance to erase the defeat suffered in her debut for the organization, which occurred in June this year, when she was finished by Bea Malecki. In November, Duda would have his fifth fight since turning professional in MMA.
Born in Rio de Janeiro, the fighter was undefeated until she felt the taste of defeat for the first time. Fighting in front of her audience would be essential for her to rediscover the path to triumph.
For Cowboyzinha's place, a homemade solution. Vanessa melo, which also recently debuted for the company, will be responsible for rousing the public and raising the Brazilian flag over the Octagon.
The São Paulo native will have the duty to ruin Tracy's debut in the company and interrupt the athlete's good streak of six consecutive victories in her career.
Melo, who debuted for the company in September, also needs to win to show his value in Ultimate. In her first appearance for the organization, the fighter ended up defeated by Irene aldana in the unanimous decision of the judges.
Before the negative result, the São Paulo native had won five in a row. At 31 years old, the athlete has 10 wins and six defeats in her career.
Cortez, 25, will perform after being discovered on Dana White's Contender Series. In her professional record, the North American has seven fights with six wins and just one loss.
