Ailin Perez believes in creating viral moments to sell fights.
on Sept. 16 at Meta Apex in Las Vegas. There is serious bad blood between the two leading up to their fight. Ailin Perez says Norma Dumont confronted her near the UFC PI bathroom ahead of UFC Vegas 121, of checking her out at the UFC Performance Institute.
Dumont claims Tulio has had to block Perez on social media as she kept tagging him. The Brazilian is just glad to have the opportunity to hurt Perez without getting arrested.
However, Perez isn’t taking things too personally. She recently detailed an encounter with Dumont at the UFC P.I. where things got heated. Dumont reportedly came to the bathroom with her team looking for Perez. While Dumont never mentioned the incident, Perez believes feuds are great to sell the fight.
The Argentine says she has to do double the work to sell fights in a division where fighters are barely running their mouths. , because in my opinion she lost that fight, but she won,” Perez told MMA Fighting.
“She came looking for me in the PI bathroom with all her friends. There were a bunch of girls talking about how I’m going to be next, that she’s going to knock me out. And I said, ‘OK, fine, let’s go. I’m waiting for that fight; why not?
’ And then my friends came in too to separate us a little because we kind of wanted to fight a little, but she has no code. The only difference is that I expose everything to the fans, what’s happening. She wants to keep what happens behind closed doors. No, no, no, stop, no, that’s bullsh*t.
Everything that’s happening needs to go viral, you know what I mean? It’s great entertainment, and she’s not taking advantage of that. I’m selling the fight, like I always do with all my fights. It’s very hard to be a star in a category where the girls don’t post and talk about what happens outside of the fight, which is what we need, you know?
So, I’m doing double the work. ” Perez believes she is already winning the mental war against Dumont . While she says her foot is still injured from her last fight, she is confident that she doesn’t need to be at 100% to beat Dumont.
