Back in 2021, Tracy Cortez missed weight in her fight against Justine Kish. Everything worked according to her plan except the fact that she missed her weight. Cortez weighed around 126.5 pounds on the scale while her opponent made her weight perfectly. Regardless of the miss, the fight actually happened and Kish tasted defeat at the hands of Cortez.

However, despite the victory Cortez had to pay a part of her purse due to the missed weight. While having a conversation with the media, the Phoenix, Arizona native emphasized that it was not her fault, “So I was 0.5 lbs off, and they normally give us an hour to cut the weight, but they didn’t clear me. The doctor didn’t let me cut the half-a-pound. He checked me out, and he wasn’t OK with me cutting the rest of the weight. I could’ve cut it, I could’ve peed it, but he didn’t let me.”
