Ailin Perez knew that she had a big advantage on the ground when she faced Darya Zheleznyakova at UFC Paris. But that did not stop the OnlyFans fame from getting the flare going on her feet when she won big! The womenโs bantamweight bout was part of the UFC Paris (UFC Fight Night 243) feature prelims at the Accor Arena,
It wasnโt long before Perez was in the clinch from the get-go. Zheleznyakova was able to work her way free. Darya Zheleznyakova caught a Perez kick and knocked her down but eventually let the Argentinian up. Perez leaned and shot again, but Zheleznyakova stuffed the takedown. Going into the bout, there were serious doubts about her because of her wavy results on the scale. However, โFionaโ Perez got it done.
The third time was the charm for the OnlyFans sensation out of Team The Goat Shed MMA. She finally got Zheleznyakova down the right way. Perez established her dominance on the ground and then switched to an arm-triangle choke to finish off Zheleznyakov. Ailin Perez thus defeated Darya Zheleznyakova via submission (arm triangle choke) โ R1 at the 3:52 mark.

Perez picked up her first finish in the octagon against Zheleznyakova. The 29-year-old Argentine has now won four in a row. Moreover, to cap it off, the OnlyFans star finished it off with her signature twerk work over the opponent. The whole discourse has gone quite viral.
Fight fans react to Ailin Perezโs win and signature twerk
Zheleznyakova came out strong, controlling the center and teeing off punches. Ailin Perez initiated a clinch, and another, and on and on. But it looked like her capacity to do so would betray the Argentine. Although just a marginal .5 pounds under her cut limit, the OnlyFans UFC fighter looked anything but well-hydrated.
The Russian star had a better initial showing. However, Perez proved perceptions wrong, opening up with high kicks and ranged attacks. She defended well on the mat, even transitioning on a full mount. Although a switch-stance Kung Fu striker, her BJJ antics served well. Darya Zheleznyakova answered from half-guard, but the OnlyFans star got in a few punches and went on the hunt. Hereโs a few top reactions to it.
I would be swinging immediately if I got twerked on like this

Perez (11-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC) stuck to her script of whooping hineys and shaking hineys, and fans are here for it! Most have lauded her UFC Paris (UFC Fight Night 243) shock submission and the win celebration. She got one post-fight twerk in even during the announcement.
A few people did not stop mentioning the weight-cut pitfalls, again. Some have even joked that twerking on a downed opponent is mad disrespect. Bigger insult to injury than โ12-6โ elbows!
A handful have even referred to her NSFW dance with new champ Merab Dvalishvili which happened near her ceremonial weigh-ins. This marks a joyous celebration and has all signs of it, despite its mature nature. Despite the weight miss, her career looks well on the way to a title run.
