Get to know Tracy Cortez || Driving with Tracy

You think you know me. You've seen the fights. You've seen the highlight reels. But you don't know me yet. This is 15 questions. No script. No filter. Just me — riding through the streets I grew up on in South Phoenix, talking about the neighborhood that made me, the brother I lost, the dream I inherited, and the fight I'm still in the middle of. I grew up in Maryvale playing in the streets until the streetlights came on. I grew up in a house that didn't have Barbies — just brothers, bikes, and a mom who cooked weenies and eggs every morning. I got kicked out at 16. I found fighting after my brother Jose passed away, as a way to cope with the grief. And somewhere along the way, his dream became mine. I'm ranked #8 in the world. I'm two or three fights from a title shot. I just lost my last fight. And I'm not stopping. This is who you've been supporting. Now you know me. Mi gente — welcome to my channel.
