A Phoenix Suns fan who went viral during this week’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers has been identified.
With the NBA’s new in-season tournament tipping off a few days ago, all eyes were on the hoops world to see how things would turn out.
The first game of the tournament between the Suns and Lakers was an absolute banger. The latter squad wound up emerging with a big win over Kevin Durant and Co., but it was a fun one to watch regardless of who you were rooting for.
Eagle-eyed fans at home couldn’t help but notice one person in particular steal the show courtside.
It didn’t take long for the fan in question to be identified as UFC star Tracy Cortez.
In addition to being a really talented MMA fighter, Cortez also has a massive following on social media.
She routinely blows up for her posts, and this week proved to be no exception:

The MMA world has some big stars. Not too long ago, Pearl Gonzalez’s provocative dance video caused a major stir.
Before that, Nate Diaz’s wife Misty set the internet ablaze with her wild photos.
Cortez obviously isn’t as big as either one of those women.

That said, her popularity has steadily been rising in 2023. And as evidenced by the hubbub her appearance at the Suns game caused, she is only getting more and more famous.
Will Cortez opt to attend any more Suns game as the NBA season ultimately chugs along? Time will tell.
