"You're looking at your main event #UFCDenver"

Cortez also posted a snap from a UFC shoot of herself. Moreover, another image was seemingly of someone in a Spider-Girl costume with a caption in Spanish. The English translation of the same indicated that she feels akin to Spider-Girl (a famous US superheroine character) when someone tells her she's strong and can do everything.

In the seventh image of the post, Cortez displays a ripped physique, which serves as another reminder of the elite level of athleticism that she and other UFC combatants operate at.

Fans react to Tracy Cortez's pre-UFC Denver photos

Rose Namajunas, who's the No. 6-ranked UFC women's flyweight, was initially scheduled to fight the No. 4-ranked Maycee Barber in the headlining match of UFC Denver. Nevertheless, Barber withdrew from the fight last month owing to health issues. The No. 11-ranked Cortez stepped in on short notice and will fight Namajunas in the new headlining match of the UFC Denver event.

Many took to the comments section of Tracy Cortez's aforementioned Instagram post to express their respect for her and hail her as a future champion. Multiple fans alluded to the belief that beating Rose Namajunas, a former UFC women's strawweight champion and current UFC flyweight contender, could catapult Cortez into the flyweight title picture.
