During UFC Fight Night in Paris on September 28, 2024, Argentina's Perez dominated Russia’s Daria Zhelezniakova in a bantamweight bout held at the Accor Arena. Perez secured a first-round victory with a head-and-arm choke submission, but it was her post-fight celebration that sparked controversy.
After the win, Perez performed her signature twerking move, but this time took it further by doing it directly over her defeated opponent's face. As Zhelezniakova began to stand, Perez repositioned herself to add insult to injury, much to the displeasure of many viewers.
Despite the taunt, Zhelezniakova remained composed and returned to her corner without reacting to her opponent’s antics.
With the victory, Perez improved her UFC record to 4-1, marking her fourth consecutive win. Known for her side career as an OnlyFans model, she currently holds the No. 15 ranking in the bantamweight division, a position that is expected to rise after her impressive performance.
However, fans have criticized Perez for her unsportsmanlike celebration, with many calling her actions disrespectful to her opponent.
