UFC bantamweight contender Ailin Perez has expressed her willingness to fight former champion Amanda Nunes upon Nunes' return to the octagon. Perez, confident in her abilities, believes Nunes should not receive an immediate title shot and sees herself as a suitable opponent for the Brazilian fighter. Despite acknowledging Nunes' past accomplishments, Perez is eager to challenge her and assert her own position in the division.
Perez, on a five-fight winning streak, aims to secure a bout with Nunes following her recovery from shoulder surgery, expected in September or October. While Nunes is speculated to face the winner of the upcoming bantamweight title fight, Perez hopes to be Nunes' first opponent upon her return to the UFC. Emphasizing her readiness to take on tough challenges, Perez sees a potential matchup with Nunes as a significant opportunity to showcase her skills and establish her presence in the division.
