Ailin
\nPerez<\/a> believes in creating viral moments to sell fights.<\/p>\n

\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> women\u2019s bantamweight matchup in

Ailin Perez says Norma Dumont confronted her near the UFC PI
\nbathroom ahead of UFC Vegas 121<\/h2>\n

Perez recently accused Dumont\u2019s boyfriend, UFC middleweight
\nMarco
\nTulio<\/a>, of checking her out at the UFC Performance Institute.
\nDumont claims Tulio has had to block Perez on social media as she
\nkept tagging him. The Brazilian is just glad to have the
\nopportunity to hurt Perez without getting arrested.<\/p>\n

However, Perez isn\u2019t taking things too personally. She recently
\ndetailed an encounter with Dumont at the UFC P.I. where things got
\nheated. Dumont reportedly came to the bathroom with her team
\nlooking for Perez.<\/p>\n

While Dumont never mentioned the incident, Perez believes feuds are
\ngreat to sell the fight. The Argentine says she has to do double
\nthe work to sell fights in a division where fighters are barely
\nrunning their mouths.<\/p>\n

\u201cNorma is a dirty person, because at the PI when she \u2018beat\u2019
\nKetlen
\nVieira<\/a>, because in my opinion she lost that fight, but she
\nwon,\u201d Perez told MMA Fighting. \u201cShe came looking for me in the PI
\nbathroom with all her friends. There were a bunch of girls talking
\nabout how I\u2019m going to be next, that she\u2019s going to knock me out.
\nAnd I said, \u2018OK, fine, let\u2019s go. I\u2019m waiting for that fight; why
\nnot?\u2019 And then my friends came in too to separate us a little
\nbecause we kind of wanted to fight a little, but she has no code.
\nThe only difference is that I expose everything to the fans, what\u2019s
\nhappening. She wants to keep what happens behind closed doors. No,
\nno, no, stop, no, that\u2019s bullsh*t. Everything that\u2019s happening
\nneeds to go viral, you know what I mean? It\u2019s great entertainment,
\nand she\u2019s not taking advantage of that. I\u2019m selling the fight, like
\nI always do with all my fights. It\u2019s very hard to be a star in a
\ncategory where the girls don\u2019t post and talk about what happens
\noutside of the fight, which is what we need, you know? So, I\u2019m
\ndoing double the work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perez (13-2) believes she is already winning the mental war against
\nDumont (13-3). While she says her foot is still injured from her
\nlast fight, she is confident that she doesn\u2019t need to be at 100% to
\nbeat Dumont.<\/p>\n
