UFC fighter Ailin Perez Recreates Popular Twerking Celebration After Becoming an OnlyFans Celebrity
On Saturday night at UFC 302, the bantamweight contender extended Ailin Perez’s winning record to three consecutive fights by defeating Joselyne Edwards in 15 minutes.
During fight week, Perez twerked in front of Dana White and Paulo Costa, so it’s no surprise she performed her signature dance after winning.
Her trainers encouraged the 29-year-old from Argentina, pointing to her behind as she danced for the camera before hugging Edwards. After her recent win, ‘Fiona’ created waves by twerking in front of the commentators.
In November 2023, UFC commentator Brendan Fitzgerald was caught on tape cheering her on as she performed a handstand against the Octagon barrier and twerked, and the film instantly went viral.
The 10-2 fighter used the spotlight to market her OnlyFans, and it paid off as she earned more in the days following her victory against Lucie Pudilová than she did in the past.
“On a month-to-month basis, it depends on how it’s been because I’m keeping evolving with this,” Perez said regarding her OnlyFans revenue on The MMA Hour.
“But, it’s been over $30,000 from Thursday to now.” “It will only improve with each fight.”I was paid $24,000 for the battle because I am on my first contract. As I continue to fight, I will be paid more and more, and maybe even more, with the next contract.
“By the next fight, I get a new extension, which is what I’m looking for, and I can multiply that number, so it is even better pay than what I got.”
Perez’s success on the content-sharing platform is unsurprising, as other UFC fighters have turned their combat stardom into a successful side income.
Paige VanZant, a former MMA fighter, claims to have made more money on OnlyFans in 24 hours than she did in her whole UFC career.
Perez would hope to see a similar increase in subscribers after stunning everyone with her performance against Edwards and capturing fan attention with her post-fight theatrics.
