Ailin Perez seems to have shed the shroud of relative anonymity that greeted her arrival in the Ultimate Fighting Championship a few short years ago. Prolonged winning streaks tend to have such effects.
Having climbed all the way into the Top 15 at 135 pounds, Perez will attempt to move ever closer to contention in the women’s bantamweight division when she collides with Karol Rosa as part of the UFC 311 undercard on Saturday at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. The 30-year-old Argentinian upstart has rattled off four consecutive victories since she submitted to a Stephanie Egger rear-naked choke in her September 2022 promotional debut.
