Disturbing footage of Ailin Perez visibly shaking as she missed weight ahead of her fight at UFC Paris has emerged.
The UFC returns to Paris, France, on Saturday as a lightweight clash between Renato Moicano and Benoit Saint-Denis tops the bill.
In the prelims, Perez, who has won three fights in a row inside the famed Octagon, takes on Daria Zheleznyakova in what was supposed to be a bantamweight contest.
However, the 29-year-old missed weight at Friday’s official weigh-in, tipping the scales at 136.5lbs.
And it appears she had a tough weight cut judging by a video that is circulating on social media.
A clip shows the Argentine fighter visibly shaking on the scales before bursting into tears.
She can be seen shaking on the scales before being escorted off the stage by a UFC official in a worrying moment.
At the time of writing, Zheleznyakova vs. Perez is still on despite the latter seemingly struggling at the UFC weigh-in.
As a result of missing weight by 0.5lbs, she will forfeit 20 per cent of her purse.
After weighing in, she took to social media, writing on X: “There’s a fight! Let’s go Argentina.”
Perez was the only fighter to miss weight as all the other combatants successfully made weight for the event.
She enters her UFC Paris bout having won three fights on the bounce after suffering a defeat in her promotional debut.
She lost to Stephanie Egger before picking up wins over Ashlee Evans-Smith, Lucie Pudilova and Joselyne Edwards.
This will be Perez’s second fight on French soil, having fought on the UFC Paris card against Egger back in September 2022.
