Perez took on women’s bantamweight veteran Macy Chiasson at UFC Mexico on Saturday at the Arena CDMX in Mexico City, Mexico. After dropping the first round, Perez bounced back to earn a unanimous decision win, which is her sixth straight win. Perez subsequently called out archenemy Tracy Cortez.
Perez later elaborated on her callout of Cortez. Perez says this is the best time for Cortez to fight her, as “Fiona” won’t give her the opportunity when she is the champion. Perez says that while Cortez is always beefing with her, she is nowhere to be found after the callout.
Looking for a Fight
“I already conquered the bantamweight division,” Perez told the UFC. “All the girls in the weight class are scared of me. And the time to fight Tracy is now. Because when I’m the champion, I’m not going to give her that opportunity. So the fight is now. Tracy Cortez is always trying to fight me outside the cage, she’s always trying to look for me. And when I’m trying to look for her, where is she? Nowhere, she’s a coward.”
Argentina’s Perez (13-2) initially called out Cortez (12-3) after her win over Darya Zheleznyakova at UFC Paris. However, Cortez said she was unbothered. Following her upset win over Karol Rosa at UFC 311 last year, Perez went off on Cortez, who was also attending the event. Cortez responded, claiming Perez tried to shake her hand when they ran into each other. Cortez is 1-2 in her last three and coming off a submission loss against Erin Blanchfield.
