By: Ryan Wohl

Two Women’s Flyweight contenders, No. 8 Tracy Cortez vs. No. 12 Wang Cong, are facing off at UFC 329. Cortez is 1-2 in her previous three contests, while Cong is riding a three-fight winning streak. This is the final fight on the Early Prelims, which begin at 5:00 p.m. ET on Paramount+.

Check out my best bet for Tracy Cortez vs. Wang Cong at UFC 329.

Wang Cong Moneyline (-120)

Cong has an overall record of 9-1 with four finishes and is 4-1 in five UFC fights. Her latest victory came against Eduarda Moura in February. Cortez is two years younger than Cong but has been in the UFC longer, as she debuted in the promotion in 2019. After starting 5-0 in the promotion, Cortez has lost two of her previous three contests. Erin Blanchfield submitted Cortez in November 2025, which was her last contest.

On paper, both fighters have the same standing reach (65″), with Cong having the edge in height (5’6″ vs. 5’5″). Striking-wise, Cong is on a different level than Cortez. Cong averages 6.22 significant strikes per minute, which is impressive compared to Cortez’s 3.86. Also, Cong absorbs fewer significant strikes from opponents (2.19 vs. 3.01) while being more accurate on the feet (63% vs. 57%).

On DraftKings Sportsbook, Cong is a slight -120 favorite with Cortez being a +100 underdog. The over/under is 2.5 rounds, with the over being -298 and the under being +220. This contest is -245 to go the distance and +180 for a finish. Cong has an elite 84 percent takedown defense, which she will need to use, as Cortez is better on the ground offensively. If Cong can keep this fight on the feet for the majority of the time, she should be able to break down Cortez.
