Tracy Cortez Takes Drastic Step to Make Weight for UFC Main Event

Cortez cuts her hair to meet the 126-pound limit ahead of her bout against Rose Namajunas in Denver.

Cortez needed to lose half a pound to qualify for the flyweight fight.
She cut off a significant portion of her hair, successfully weighing in at 126 pounds.
Cortez, with an 11-1 record, steps in as a late replacement for Maycee Barber.
Namajunas, a former strawweight champion, is the betting favorite.
The event marks UFC's return to Denver after six years.
