After earning her contract on Dana White’s Contender Series in late July, Tracy Cortez has an opponent, location, and date for her UFC debut. A flyweight fighter, Arizona’s Cortez (6-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) will move up to bantamweight to take on Duda Santana (3-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) at UFC on ESPN+ 22. Two people with knowledge of the situation informed MMA Junkie of the booking but asked to remain anonymous as the UFC has yet to make an official announcement. Cortez will replace Leah Letson, whose reason for withdrawal from the bout is unknown. UFC on ESPN+ 22 takes place Nov. 16 at Ginásio do Ibirapuera in Sao Paulo, Brazil
