UFC fighter celebrates win by twerking for commentators and announcing her OnlyFans page is now free
Ailin Perez made the most of her moment in the spotlight at UFC Vegas 82.
The Argentine bantamweight fighter showed true grit during her unanimous decision win over Lucie Pudilová at the UFC Apex on Saturday night - but it was her post-fight antics that got people talking.
After being declared the winner, Perez began twerking in the middle of the Octagon as the cameraman cut to her young son celebrating in the crowd to create a viral moment.
The 29-year-old wasn't done there. Perez made her way to the commentary booth and did a handstand before twerking again for the broadcast team.
UFC announcer Brendan Fitzgerald was caught on camera cheering her on in footage filmed by the ex-Playboy model Tom Aspinall recently shared a wild interview with.
Soon after, Perez went backstage to chat with the media.

The 135lb contender wanted to promote her OnlyFans page, which is free to access after her big win, rather than discuss the fight.
“For anyone who wants to check out my OnlyFans, at this moment, it’s free,” Perez said.
“My OnlyFans is not pornography, it’s art.
“All my followers could prove that by checking it out.”

Perez wants to face 10th-ranked contender Norma Dumont next in a fight she dubbed ‘The Battle of the Asses’, but fans were more interested to hear about a scrap she had before UFC Vegas 82.
‘Fiona’ entered the bout with a black eye that swelled shut during her 15-minute contest and rumours were circulating about another UFC fighter giving her it during a gym scuffle.
“This irrelevant lady came up to me after I was opinionated about one of her fights, just talking about the performance that she did," Perez explained.
“And she came to assault me. She did assault me with the intention to make me pull out of my fight, but I’m sorry, she did not achieve it. I won and fought regardless of the assault that took place.
“I want to thank my coach, who was there at the time of the assault because if it wasn’t for him, I would have had much worse injuries because he was able to take her off me when she was assaulting me.”
Perez claimed she couldn’t ‘remember’ who her attacker was, but bantamweight fighter Joselyn Edwards was quick to admit her involvement in the altercation.
“While we were fighting, her coach attacked me from behind. He was strangling me so that Ailin would hit me,” Edwards told MMA Mania.
“Her coach attacked me. I practically had to fight two of them.
"He did not protect anyone, he started the fight, he was the one who heated things so that the fight would take place, and then he attacked me and was strangling me.

“Later, when they had already separated me from Ailin, he was still strangling me and did not want to let me go. He never separated the fight; he attacked me while she attacked me.”
Perez and Edwards are currently without opponents and it seems like a matter of time before they settle their beef inside the UFC Octagon.
