Ailin Perez twerks in face of opponent during win at UFC Paris
Ailin Perez’s weight cut had approximately no bearing on her performance on Saturday at UFC Paris.
Perez, who was seen shaking and crying on the scales while missing weight on Friday, put on a show for her fans on Saturday.
After dominating her opponent, Darya Zheleznyakova, with a first-round head-and-arm choke submission victory, Perez decided to do her patented twerking following the victory.
This time, though, Perez moved her rear end directly on her opponent’s face in celebration.
Zheleznyakova did not react to her opponent’s taunts and instead went back to her corner after the loss.
However, as Zheleznyakova was getting up, Perez re-positioned so she could add further insult to the defeat.
Perez improved to 4-1 in UFC with four straight victories on her resume.
The fight almost didn’t happen, though, with many fans calling for it to be called off due to weight-cutting issues.
Perez was just half a pound short of the 136-pound maximum weight limit for the women’s bantamweight division.
She was seen gingerly walking onto the scale, and when it was announced she weighed 136.5 pounds, she began crying while struggling to flex her biceps.
Perez also lifted her hands high in the sky.
UFC officials quickly approached her and helped her stumble off the scale and to the backroom.
Her coaches did not let her continue the weight cut, and she forfeited 20 percent of her total fight purse and is not eligible for any performance of the night bonuses.
The bantamweight, who is also an OnlyFans model in her spare time, is ranked No. 15 in the world but will surely get a bump in the weeks to come thanks to her strong performance.
