Cortez talked with Stake<\/a> ahead of her fight against Wang,
\nasserting that she plans to dominate the fight, not just win
\nit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m definitely training extremely hard to make a statement.
\nExtremely hard,\u201d Cortez said. \u201cI know putting on a great
\nperformance in this fight could mean that with two more fights I
\ncould be next for that belt. Not just winning but dominating. And
\nI’m going in there to dominate. Like I’m going in there to hurt
\nthese girls from here on out. I’m not just going to try to play it
\nsafe and, you know, wait till I win a round. Like I’m going to go
\nin there to hurt these girls.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cortez not only shared her own ambition but also critiqued her
\nopponent, saying that Wang\u2019s striking is somewhat one-dimensional.
\nShe added, \u201cShe’s either going to throw one hard punch or two hard
\npunches. I personally think I’m faster. I think I throw a lot more
\nvolume. And I think my wrestling is going to also change a lot of
\nhow people think the fight is going to go and play out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cortez lost her previous bout against Erin
\nBlanchfield<\/a> via submission. Wang, meanwhile, defeated Eduarda
\nMoura<\/a> by unanimous decision in her last fight and is on a
\nthree-fight win streak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
