Ailin Perez is very confident entering UFC Fight Night 243 – so confident that she already has a few names in mind for her next fight.
Perez (10-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC), a rising women’s bantamweight, doesn’t think she’ll have much difficulty getting her hand raised Saturday in Paris against Darya Zheleznyakova despite it likely feeling like enemy territory. Although originally from Russia, Zheleznyakova (9-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) trains out of France and is expected to have the crowd support this weekend.
Perez is unfazed fighting in France and feels very good about her chances.
