This Saturday in New Jersey there will be an Argentine presence led by the fighter Ailín Pérezwho faces the Panamanian Joselyne Edwards. In the days before the fight, the opponents hurled grievances at each other through social media.
Perez debuted in the UFC in 2022, but only in 2023 did it begin to demonstrate its full potential. Last year she racked up two consecutive victories against experienced fighters like Lucie Pudilova and Ashlee Evans-Smith. Beyond this background, the Argentine is not a favorite against the Panamanian. The bets are close. Anything can happen in the octagon Prudential Center.
