Tracy’s ex-boyfriend, UFC’s featherweight contender, Brian Ortega was cornered by fans by comments of him being ‘fumbled’ for Tracy. Ortega responded to this shortly after Tracy’s tweet which said:
Everyone out here talking bout I fumbled. Y’all must not know the rules of the game. When you drop the ball on accident that’s a fumble , but when you throw it away on purpose. That’s called a complete pass . Top G shit!

As reports suggested from InsideSport, Tracy and Ortega parted ways earlier this year with a mutual decision. Tracy Cortez’s relationship with Brian Ortega became public in 2020. Since then, the couple has been seen regularly together, including in numerous social media posts and even UFC Embedded footage.
Cortez also assisted Ortega in his fights, including his UFC 266 fight against Alexander Volkanovski, in which she was in his corner.
Paulo Costa insists he’s still dating Tamara Alves
A new tweet posted a while ago by Paulo Costa, shows his longtime girlfriend Tamara Alves and him hanging out. In the video, Paulo seems to have a beautiful evening with his partner. This move of Paulo Costa, posting a video with Tamara, has left the fans speechless and skeptical. The fans were mocking and making fun of the middleweight contender.

Many of the fans reacted in a hilarious way as they commented on the tweet:
My boy Paulo was forced to sleep on the couch after that Cortez post. Good strategy to get back in bed with this post.

As it was clear enough from the recent posts from Paulo, that he is spending evenings with different women on every different day, Tamara also jokingly tweeted:
I’m worried about tomorrow 🤣

After Cortez was seen wearing a diamond ring on her finger, rumors of their engagement began to circulate. The duo continued to cheer on each other during their individual UFC fights. Ortega even had Cortez’s name tattooed on his bottom lip as a Valentine’s Day gift.
However, rumors started circling early this year when both Ortega and Cortez abruptly erased all photographs of one other from their social media profiles. While the specifics of their split are unknown, Ortega’s claim that he “threw her away” reflects a purposeful choice on his behalf.
