MMA weigh-ins can be wild. It is a time for the fighters to express themselves before they fight in a cage. Over the years, there have been several memorable and odd ones; on Tuesday, there was another odd one.
F Disney!
Former Ultimate Fighter season 30 contestant and BKFC fighter Helen Peralta (5-2) weighed in for her Invicta FC fight topless on Tuesday. She wasn’t completely topless; however, Peralta was wearing some tape covering her nipples that read “Fu*k Disney.”

Reasoning
Yeah, I know. That is kind of weird and random as hell, but thankfully her castmate on The Ultimate Fighter, Zac Pauga, gave some insight into what she was thinking.
Peralta has apparently done this before. Peralta performed the same act during her time on “The Ultimate Fighter, Season 30,” although the scene was not included in the finished product. Zac Pauga, who placed runner-up in “TUF 30”, revealed that producers forced Peralta to perform her weigh-in wearing a shirt, since Disney owns ESPN.
“I’ll give you the background! She did this for her fight on TUF30 but the producers cut it and made her weigh in again after making weight just for the cameras. Funniest moment of the season and they cut it because ESPN is a Disney owned company,” Pauga wrote.

A few hours later, Peralta tweeted about her lack of attire, saying it was a glitch in the Matrix.
“For those who don’t want to know, go back to your regularly scheduled programming. This is just a glitch in the matrix. If you found me offensive, I’m not sorry. Just imagine a pound of silicone under each breast and boom , Now I’m just … brave. P.s I didn’t kill myself,” Peralta wrote.

It is Peralta’s first fight since her time on The Ultimate Fighter, and she sure got some eyes on her. But, unfortunately, she probably pissed off Disney, who owns ESPN, which has exclusive rights to the UFC.
No big deal, right?
Despite the fact that we do not know exactly what caused this. Keep up the good work, MMA.
