It appears that UFC star Tracy Cortez is leaving Brazil and heading back home this week.
For the past month, Cortez, who hasn’t fought since May of last year, has been in Brazil training with the Pitbull brothers, Patricio and Patrick at their gym as she works on a comeback to the Octagon.

Cortez planned to fight earlier this year but suffered a hand injury that set her back.
“Originally I was supposed to fight back December 3rd, and then we were working on getting me a fight in May, had an opponent lined up and everything and then I got injured and hurt my hand and I’m having surgery tomorrow.
“Having surgery tomorrow, the recovery time is about 6-8 weeks. it kind of sets me back a lot.”
It seems like Tracy is healthy, but it’s unclear when she’ll be back in the cage. Hopefully, it’s soon.
