Overview
- Wang Cong won a unanimous decision over Tracy Cortez at UFC 329 on Saturday, with all three judges scoring the bout 29-27 in her favor.
- Referee Jason Herzog deducted one point from Wang in the second round for an illegal knee, but Wang kept pressing and still took the round on the cards.
- Wang executed a game plan focused on calf and leg kicks that briefly dropped Cortez, limited her takedown attempts, and forced Cortez to change stances.
- Cortez had moved her camp to Mexico City and adopted a higher‑pace plan to rebound, but she could not secure takedowns or stop the leg damage and will reassess her next steps.
- After the win Wang called out two‑time flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko, a move that could accelerate Wang’s climb in the divisional rankings and shape near‑term matchmaking.
