00:13Alright, now here's Buff with the particulars.

00:56And now, introducing her opponent, fighting out of the red corner.
01:01A mixed martial artist, holding a professional record, 13 wins, 6 losses.
01:06She stands 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing in at 125 and 1.5 pounds.
01:13Fighting out of Brasilia, Distrito Federal, Brazil.
01:19Presenting the number 8 ranked UFC flyweight contender in the world, Viviana, Vivi Araujo.
01:32When the action begins, a referee in charge, Jason Herzog.
01:40One of the absolute best in the business, Jason Herzog, our referee for this one.
01:45Between Tracy Cortez and Viviani Araujo.
01:50All right, this fight clock is brought to you by Bud Light, the official beer sponsor of the UFC.
02:04That's Cortez, center of the octagon in black.
02:07For the first time in five fights, Araujo is not fighting a fellow Brazilian.
02:11There are so many Brazilian women in this play pass.
02:17Cortez shoots there.
02:18Oh, nice combo by Vivi.
02:23Nice double leg there by Cortez.
02:26Beautiful job by Tracy.
02:27Getting to the double, she's got to climb the body here.
02:32Hyde is going to win here for Cortez.
02:34She's going to take her back.
02:44Nice job by Araujo, just continuing to move.
02:47See how she got out of the pocket, got that left hip to the ground.
02:50Now she can start turning back into Cortez.
02:52Beautiful job.
02:55That tremendous grappling there, she really used that wizard well.
03:00Now she's got Tracy's back.
03:02Joe, you mentioned Araujo, sort of a decorated BJJ player before her MMA career.
03:07Also a lot of judo experience as well.
03:09Well-rounded as a martial artist.
03:11Like everything, her tie, everything she has.
03:14And she's competing in all sports.
03:18Oh, nice job.
03:19She got her back, full back control.
03:21Cortez needs to control that right arm.
03:24This is a bad spot for Tracy to be in this early in the fight.
03:44Yes.
03:46Because both of these women are dry.
03:48They're not soaked in sweat yet.
03:50Not slippery.
03:52Look at Cortez trying to put that hand over her head.
03:54There she goes.
03:55Now she can start to turn back into her.
03:57Oh, what a great adjustment, though, by Vivi.
04:01Now, Vivi's still a little high here.
04:02Yep.
04:03Cortez now can release the arm and try to get her right arm, left arm through.
04:07There it is.
04:07Now she can wrestle back into her.
04:08Beautiful job.
04:12Nice job by the coaches.
04:14Two out right, Santino DeFranco and Eddie Chan.
04:17My boy, Big Angel Cejudo in that corner, too.
04:20Oh, yep, Angel's over there, as well.
04:21A lot of wrestling.
04:33Toyo Tires, the official tire of UFC.
04:36Oh, big shot by Tracy Cortez.
04:44That's a tremendous confidence booster for Cortez, too, to have her back tick like that,
04:48to turn it around, wind up on top, land the ground and pound.
04:55Araujo's doing a good job with that left underhook.
04:57Cortez needs to pummel back inside to try to get her underhook.
05:00Every time you let somebody get that far side underhook, they start building back into you.
05:04You hear Coach telling her to flatten her out.
05:10The way to do that is to get that right on through, digging underhook.
05:15Some mean-spirited strikes from Cortez a moment ago under two minutes here, round one.
05:24Still got that right leg trapped.
05:26There it is.
05:27Got out of it there.
05:28Looking for a guillotine.
05:34But excellent top control by Tracy Cortez.
05:41She's looking for that submission.
05:43But what a feather in her cap would be to submit Viviana or Araujo.
05:46I mean, Araujo's doing a great job with that underhook.
05:55It's just stopping Cortez from advancing.
06:01Cortez doing a great job, though, with her top control.
06:04Landing damage every chance she gets an opportunity.
06:07Yep.
06:08Final minute of round one.
06:09Cortez really taking control of the round after a good start from Araujo.
06:22Good damage by Cortez as well.
06:24There's another good right hand.
06:28Good half fist.
06:32Oh, she's looking for him here.
06:33Oh, yeah, she's jumping on that guillotine.
06:35It looks tight, too.
06:35It's high elbow here.
06:42Oh, she dropped down, though, without any use of her legs.
06:45Oh, now she's got a chance to get her legs involved.
06:47Got to get those legs involved.
06:48Get the leverage of the legs.
06:50That's a tight guillotine.
06:51Final second to the round.
06:53Cortez trying to submit the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt.
06:56She's going to just hang on here for a short time, but she had it.
07:00Round two coming up.
07:05Water, water.
07:11Where's the ice?
07:12Ice and water now.
07:18Respira, Vivi.
07:19Breathe, Vivi.
07:20Breathe.
07:21Come on.
07:21Listen, we need to keep the distance.
07:23She shows what she wants to do.
07:26If you frustrate her, if you frustrate her, just keep her, keep her the distance, keep the range, then your hand comes back.
07:34So, we're going to keep the distance.
07:35All she wants is to kick or to get close to her.
07:39Let's keep the distance.
07:41Hey, push the face, grab the leg, and let's flinch and beat her up.
07:49Hey, hey, let's do it again.
07:51You won that round.
07:52Yeah?
07:53You won that round.
07:53Coming up on Pay-Per-View, the UFC's dominant former featherweight champ tracking a new goal.
08:12Ilya Topolio moving up to chase lightweight history.
08:14In his way, of course, the ever-dangerous former lightweight champ, Charles Oliveira, UFC 317 tonight.
08:19Available for purchase right now on ESPN+.
08:22Go to UFC.com slash PPV everywhere else around the world.
08:28Cortez corner liked what they saw in round one.
08:30Looking for more of the same here round two.
08:35Cortez wants to wrestle.
08:37The moment she gets an opportunity, she's going to level change.
08:40Try to take her down.
08:42And if I'm the Cortez corner, I'm encouraging it.
08:44Because she found a lot of success from the top in round one.
08:48Vivi had some success in the beginning of the round with her strikes.
08:52And then on the ground.
08:54But on the feet, her strikes look very nice and fluid.
08:58But right here, you're seeing a little bit of hesitancy.
09:01A little bit of recovery right now.
09:02Trying to catch the breath, get the gas back.
09:04A little slower paced.
09:06Nice right hand by Tracy.
09:07Yeah, Cortez's hands look fast tonight.
09:09First appearance for Cortez since the main event against Rosamayunas last July.
09:32Competing tonight following what was the easiest weight cut of her career.
09:36Araujo lunges forward, partially lands a right hand.
09:38The reason Viviani can't throw extended combinations is because she knows
09:46that the moment she starts to let her hands go,
09:48there's going to be a shot attempt coming in her direction.
09:59Again, good striking by Cortez.
10:02Her hands do look very fast, fluid.
10:05You can see her confidence is raising.
10:06Good job by Cortez.
10:18Good advancement by Araujo, punctuated with the right hand.
10:23She's got Cortez on the side of the fence now.
10:25Viviani needs to let her hands go.
10:27Oh, nice right hand by Cortez.
10:34Viviani looks much more conservative going into the second round after getting reversed,
10:38after getting beat up with the ground and pound, and a lot of grueling grappling.
10:42She's really pacing herself in the second.
10:44And I think on her feet, this is where she has her best opportunity.
10:51Yes, she needs to press here.
10:56Good defensive vision there by Cortez.
10:58And a good kick to the body as well.
11:00Body kick for Cortez.
11:07Nice counter from Araujo with the right hand.
11:09Daniel Evangelista, Serato MMA, chief in the corner of Araujo tonight.
11:23But yes, Joe, conservative is a good adjective for Araujo's approach here in round two.
11:28They're very different than the beginning of the first.
11:33And it just doesn't suit her.
11:35No.
11:35It's not to her benefit to be this cautious.
11:38Because there are a minute and a half left into this round.
11:40And because she hasn't done enough,
11:42Cortez is probably on her way to go on up two rounds to zero in this fight.
11:46It didn't have to use that much energy in round two.
11:55Well, not a lot happened so far in this second.
11:58And really, anybody can kind of win this round in the next minute in 11.
12:04But if she gets taken down, round over.
12:07Yeah.
12:08Nothing has happened.
12:10And it's in those fights, in those rounds,
12:13is when fighters should not be frustrated with anything more than themselves.
12:18Because they just don't put enough out there to be judged.
12:22Right.
12:22Good need of the body there by Tracy.
12:24We have judges that can't judge a round with a whole bunch of stuff
12:27where one person looks like they just want.
12:29How are they going to judge a round whenever it's like even?
12:32Yeah.
12:32You know?
12:32It's just a coin toss.
12:34Yeah, it's a coin toss.
12:35It's just like, we've got to pick somebody.
12:37Yeah.
12:38Oh.
12:39Quillotine attempt.
12:40It's not in, though.
12:43And Tracy's on top again.
12:45Big left hand for Cortez.
12:46Adelujo has landed just ten significant strikes through nine and a half minutes.
12:50That's a big tactical error in jumping guard
12:53without having a fully locked-in guillotine
12:55against someone who's a talented grappler.
12:57Yeah.
12:59And she's trying to get in a good position here
13:02and turn the hips to look for an armbar on that right arm,
13:04but no time.
13:07Armbar, point, point!
13:11All right, two rounds down, one more to go.
13:14Come in, come in.
13:23Just go in there and get some ice.
13:37Vivi, this distance, she's got nothing when you got distance.
13:42What do you need to do?
13:42What are you going to do?
13:45Distance, and when you get distance, she gets lost.
13:49And send the overhead, send the jab, the jab, the jab, the jab, the overhead puts a bunch of jabs.
13:53Change your levels, all right?
13:55Use your muscle.
13:57She's going to come in high.
13:58It's pressing and then try to rock back and go.
14:01Every time the level chains come up, it's right.
14:03Deep breath.
14:05And then take the calf kick.
14:06Hey, let's fucking go elbow this bitch.
14:08The UFC 317 Creelands are presented by Bud Light.
14:26All right, third and final round.
14:31A lot of the messaging in the Brazilian corner was distance management.
14:34Cortez's corner wants some wrestling, and they want her to elbow that beat.
14:39This should be a real sense of urgency in Viviana Arugio's corner, because clearly she's down two rounds here and needs some kind of a finish.
14:48She's got to take some risk, even if it means she gets taken down.
14:51We saw a long one, that if she gets taken down, she has the ability to get on top.
15:00It just takes effort, and she's not going to be willing to put that effort out to get a victory here.
15:06Yeah, after that first round, she just seemed so conservative in the second.
15:11And then that jumping for guillotine was a disaster.
15:13And here she is in a situation where she's got to have a nice front kick to the chin.
15:20She landed that right on the chin, and now she's on her back again.
15:30So Cortez seemed to eat that shot reasonably well, worked it into an advantageous position.
15:36Minicom by third and final round.
15:38Cortez has got to be very careful with that right leg.
15:45Arugio can try to roll to attack a leg here.
15:48If she can get her right knee inside to create a little space.
15:53She's getting punched, and she's even thinking about doing it.
16:04Viviani with her mouth wide open.
16:06Look at it, Tracy's covered her mouth.
16:08Tracy's recognizing that she's having a hard time breathing, so she's covering her mouth.
16:14I think if you're on top of somebody, you should always cover their mouth.
16:17Why let them breathe?
16:18You're on your back laying there.
16:20You don't deserve to breathe.
16:21I always try to cover their mouth.
16:25Now they're talking trash to each other.
16:27This is exciting unless you only know one language.
16:30Yeah.
16:31But Arugio, as we mentioned, came in 11 straight decisions.
16:39She's had a lot of offensive takedowns across her UFC career.
16:42Only two fights in which she didn't secure one.
16:44Hasn't even attempted one tonight.
16:47Well, Tracy did a really good job of making her defensive in that part of the fight right away.
16:52So, you're going to be the one trying to defend the takedowns in this fight.
16:59And right here from half guard, Tracy's able to hold her body down, land these chopping elbows and punches.
17:06Tracy's done a good job of taking her chances to land damage when they present themselves.
17:14There's never been a spot in this fight where she wasn't at least trying to get some ground and pound goal.
17:20That's why the referee hasn't been able to really impart himself in the fight.
17:24I'm being told that Arugio was complaining in her Brazilian Portuguese about oil or some sort of agent of some kind in the glove area of Tracy Cortez.
17:36Wow.
17:36Hmm.
17:39I don't even understand how that could be a factor.
17:41Why would you want it in the glove?
17:43It doesn't do anything.
17:43Well, maybe right.
17:44If I'm cheating, these are my legs.
17:48I'm putting nothing but lotion on my legs.
17:51Tracy's just beating her up here.
17:52Yep.
17:53Oh!
17:53Oh!
17:59If Tracy can pop that left leg out, she'll have her back.
18:06Cortez is trying to reach across and grab that arm.
18:08Yeah.
18:09That left arm, if she can get to that wrist, she can break her down and really let those right hands go again.
18:15She might be looking for a head and arm choke here.
18:17Yeah, she's not sitting on the lead, forcing the issue.
18:20Oh, look at this.
18:21Vivi actually did the wrong thing with her elbow.
18:25Instead of going over the top of the head, she actually brought it closer to her body.
18:29Cortez needs to pass.
18:30Yeah.
18:30If she can pass, she has a chance to finish this fight.
18:33She's trying.
18:33She's using that left instep, pressing down on the left leg of Viviani.
18:39She's almost out.
18:40She's weaseling it out.
18:41Yep.
18:42The hips have got to come up a little bit.
18:43Real close.
18:44Yep.
18:44She's starting to get close.
18:45Real close.
18:45It's out.
18:46It's out.
18:46It's out.
18:47Now she's got the back.
18:48She's got one hook.
18:55Yeah, but Viviani did a good job of scooting that hips out to the right.
19:00But Cortez is just riding, man.
19:03She's a much stronger grappler.
19:04Much more dominant with her wrestling, and this ground-and-pound just constantly keeps Vivi thinking.
19:11Vivi, this is going on.
19:1315 seconds.
19:15Keep on my mind.
19:17Vivi, so many secrets.
19:19Tremendous offensive pressure from Cortez throughout the final stages of the fight.
19:25And at the very least, she will be up to number eight next week.
19:29Araujo's, like, shaking her head, frustrated, but saying something to her corner.
19:33And a little shove from Cortez after the fact for good measure.
19:37Big performance for Cortez at 3-1-7.
19:40Official decision coming up.
19:48FX's Emmy Award-winning series, The Bear, has returned for a new season.

20:36Hey, primeramente, le queo de gracias a Dios.
20:40I want to thank all the glory to God, because without him, I wouldn't be here right now.
20:46So thank you, God.
20:47Tracy, welcome back to the winner's column.
20:50I mean, your career has been kind of frustrated because you're so talented, but because of injuries
20:55and setbacks, you've only been able to fight like once a year.
20:57But you got the victory tonight in a dominant fashion.
21:00You have to be happy.
21:02I'm a little, not the way I wanted to win, you know, on my day back, but I'll do better
21:07next time.
21:07What were you looking to do in this fight?
21:09I knew that she gasses out within seven minutes, so I was trying to get the finish, but she
21:16was strong.
21:17She was a strong girl.
21:18Well, you pushed a tremendous pace, fantastic ground and pound, control from the top, and
21:23you show that you're one of the top women in this division.
21:27You know, I want to say something very important that's been going on in my community.
21:32Con toda la raza.
21:33You know, I'm going to say it in Spanish because if you know, you know.
21:40Yo no sé si yo soy la persona elegida correcta para hablar de este tema, pero hay muchas cosas
21:48feas pasando con toda la raza alrededor de los Estados Unidos.
21:53Y les quiero decir que si tienen voz, que aquà estoy yo y que espero hacerlos orgullosos a
22:00todos los mexicanos aquÃ.
22:01I want to say if it weren't for my mother, may she rest in peace or sacrifices.
22:14If it weren't for my dad, papa, donde estés, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here
22:20right now.
22:21You guys wouldn't be supporting me.
22:22So thank you.
22:23And secondly, I want to thank everybody in here because you showed me so much love and
22:33support time after time.
22:35So thank you very much again for that.
22:37Thank you, Tracy.
22:38We look forward to seeing you again.
22:39Congratulations.
22:40Tracy Cortez.
22:41Choo Bortes.
