UFC fighter Aileen Perez has stated her desire to fight the promotion's star newcomer Kayla Harrison.
"My goal is to have a five-round fight in the main event of the tournament, preferably against Kayla Harrison. We want this fight as she is the best fighter in the division and the person with the biggest name after me. Ideally, I would like to fight against Kayla Harrison or Norma Dumont to kick their ass in five rounds. I feel like I'm now allowed to fight in the main event of the tournament. I have the training I need and I've also been able to find a balance in how to do a weight race properly. When someone is confident that they are going to become a world champion, they are going to take every opportunity to make it happen," MMAJunkie quoted Perez as saying.
