- Ailin Perez and Tracy Cortez crossed paths at UFC 311 and ranted about each other afterwards
- The pair seems eager to take their long-standing rivalry inside the Octagon
Ailin Perez and Tracy Cortez viciously threw shade at each other after their unexpected run-in at UFC 311.
Ailin strikes first
In her post-UFC 311 presser following her win over Karol Rosa, “Fiona” was asked about her run-in with Cortez. According to Perez, talking about it is just a waste of time as Cortez is “trash.”
She went on and accused Cortez of hopping on the bandwagon. Perez then reiterated that if Cortez wants to fight, then she needs to make weight.
“That’s trash. Don’t name her in this conversation right now. Get better quality people to have beef for me while I’m here, all right. It’s my moment. I’m sorry. There are other people. Get somebody else better. Make weight first, and then come talk to me. I’m not going to let anybody just ruin my moment right now. I’m in the gym with my son, morning, afternoon and evening, training all the time. I’m not going to let some girl just hop on the bandwagon and try to grab my name and someone dirty, nonetheless… Don’t name trash in the conversation,” Perez ranted.

Tracy wants the smoke
On the other hand, Cortez was livid about her run-in with Perez as well. In a video, Cortez revealed that “Fiona” tried to shake her hand but she refused to as she wants Perez to stick to her stance when they were feuding.
“Just landed. Burning off a little adrenaline right now because I ran into my best friend… “I’m not gonna do it… I was like, ‘No. What the f**k? Boss b*tch, you gonna do f**king something?’ She didn’t do sh*t. She tried to shake my hand, p*ssy a** f**king b*tch. I said, ‘No. If you’re gonna f**king say something, stick to it.’ She tried to shake my hand. I don’t do sh*t for clout. I’m from the f**king hood. If you’re gonna talk sh*t, stand by it. Cause I’m standing 10 toes down, b*tch. When I see you after this fight…,” Cortez said.

Perez and Cortez have been hating on each other for quite some time now. Things quickly escalated between the two after Perez lashed out at Cortez for missing weight against Rose Namajunas last year. Cortez even cut her hair in a wild attempt to make weight but to no avail.
Since then, “Fiona” and Cortez have been feuding and it has become a rivalry that fans seem to be interested in.
