Fears for female UFC fighter’s health as she can’t stop shaking during weigh-in and looks close to tears
AILIN PEREZ looked close to tears and could not stop shaking as she weighed-in ahead of UFC Paris.
The Argentine mixed martial artist hit the scales on Friday morning ahead of her bout against Darya Zheleznyakova this weekend.
However, fans have been left concerned for the UFC star’s health after she could be seen trembling as she missed weight.
Perez weighed in at 136.5lbs, 0.5lbs over the bantamweight limit, for Saturday’s fight at the Accor Arena.
She was already shaking as she gingerly approached the scales before it became worse after flexing and raising her fists.
The 29-year-old had to be helped away by a member of staff after stepping off the scales.
Reacting on social media, one fan wrote: “No way, cancel that fight.”
Another added: “Man, that weight cut didn’t look good.”
A third also commented: “Looks like she’s struggling.”
Meanwhile, one more fan said: “She doesn’t look all that good.”

It is the first time Perez has missed weight in her professional career, which has seen her amass a 10-2 record.
She is currently on a three-fight winning streak since losing her UFC debut and is ranked 15th in the women’s bantamweight division.
However, it is unknown if her bout against Zheleznyakova will go ahead at a catchweight, if at all, or how much of her purse will be forfeited to her opponent.
Perez has caught the eye during her two years with the promotion thanks to her social media activity and post-fight celebrations.
She previously revealed she made more in three days on OnlyFans than the £19,000 she received for her unanimous decision victory over Lucie Pudilova in November last year.
Meanwhile, she celebrates each win by twerking inside the Octagon to the delight of her fans.
