Tracy Cortez made weight for her UFC main event in an unusual way.

Needing to lose roughly half a pound in order to get down to 126 pounds for her flyweight bout against Rose Namajunas, Cortez cut off a fistful of her hair.

That did the trick, as she officially weighed in at 126 pounds on the dot Friday. Cortez then posed for the cameras, clipped hair in hand.
