As the UFC Paris fight card approaches, the MMA community eagerly anticipates another thrilling night. However, several hot topics surrounding the fight card have grabbed everyoneโs attention. One recent incident involved womenโs bantamweight fighter Ailin Perez, who appeared to go viral due to an NSFW moment. The moment was between her and menโs bantamweight champ Merab Dvalishvili.
The UFC Paris fight card will be headlined by Renato Moicano and Benoit Saint-Denis. The undercard consists of several intriguing matchups, including Ailin Perez vs. Daria Zhelezniakova. A moment between Merab Dvalishvili and Perez went viral during the pre-fight usuals. The Argentine fighter seemingly twerked in front of Dvalishvili, where the latter could be seen enjoying that moment.
Regarding her relationship with Dvalishvili, this isnโt the first time theyโve shared a moment like this. After the Georgian fighterโs impressive win against Sean OโMalley, Dvalishvili and Perez had a moment off the stage. Perez even posted a video on her Instagram with a caption that said, โCongratulations champion now you won the PRIZE.โ

The recent viral video comes after Ailin Perezโs weigh-in mishap. The Argentine fighter missed her weight by just half a pound. However, her condition afterward seemingly buzzed over the internet. The weight-cut procedure is an integral part of combat sports. Over the years, several fighters seemed to have fallen prey to that.
Recently, it was Perez, the Argentine fighter, who was shaking during her weigh-ins. As such, she couldnโt even walk steadily. Usually, the MMA community shows concern when a fighter goes through such troubles. However, this was not the case for Perez. Several netizens, including Tracy Cortez, mocked the Argentine fighter.
Tracy Cortez slams back at Ailin Perez over her weight mishap
A few months ago, Tracy Cortez headlined the UFC Denver card. Cortezโs undefeated run in the promotion earned her a spot in the main event. Although she didnโt win her bout, the event generated a lot of buzz on the internet.
The highly discussed topic was Cortezโs emotional weigh-in, during which she stood on the scale in tears. Interestingly, Ailin Perez seemingly criticized the flyweight fighter for that and mocked her for struggling to make the weight.
Tracy Cortez disliked that, even though she didnโt respond to Perez then. However, following the Argentineโs similar mishap, Cortez got the opportunity to slap back at her. As such, the 30-year-old flyweight beauty passed a sarcastic comment. Not only that, Cortez even mocked Perezโs outside-the-cage profession as well.

Tracy Cortez asked Perez to make up for the 20% UFC salary deduction through her OnlyFans handle. As per UFC policy, when a fighter fails to make the weight, they are forced to forfeit a percentage of their purse money as a penalty. However, Perez would still fight Zhelezniakova in a catchweight bout in a matter of hours.
