UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira and women’s flyweight star Tracy Cortez made headlines earlier this week when they made their new relationship public. Pereira and Cortez celebrated New Year’s Eve together, which drew a lot of reactions from fight fans.
Before starting her new relationship with Pereira, Cortez was a longtime romantic partner of former UFC title challenger Brian Ortega, who has traded wins and losses inside the cage in recent years. Ortega and Cortez still have a mutually cordial friendship, despite their public divisions.
After Pereira and Cortez’s relationship became public, many trolls poked fun at Ortega on social media. Luckily, it seems like Ortega is taking it all in stride and is happy with how his life has turned out after his relationship with Cortez.

In a recent one Instagram story post, Ortega shared a surprising response to Cortez and Pereira’s new relationship.
‘I see you guys hitting me and trying to cheer me up (You’re all creative, I’ll give you that) [LAUGHS],” said Ortega.
“Listen, I’ve been beyond happy and happy. It’s not my style to talk about other people’s personal lives and choices, and it’s not my business. My business is my family and my career.”
“2026 and every year after will always be about them.”
Ortega hasn’t fought since a loss to former UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling earlier this year in August. He has lost a total of four of his last five fights.
Cortez fell to Erin Blanchfield at UFC 322 in November, following recent victories over Jasmine Jasudavicius and Viviane Araujo. Meanwhile, Pereira regained the UFC light heavyweight title by knocking out Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 320.
