A UFC face-off nearly kicked off after a female fighter threw CONDOMS and cash at her rival.
The MMA leader resumes action this evening with UFC Vegas 121 at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas.
And a tasty women’s bantamweight grudge match between Norma Dumont and Ailin Perez serves as the card’s co-main event.
The pair have had beef for the best part of a year, with Perez claiming Dumont cornered her at the UFC Performance Institute last November with a group of women before threatening to knock her out in a heated altercation.
She upped the ante in August by posting a video on social media claiming Dumont’s boyfriend, Marco Tulio, had been watching her train at the UFC PI.
In the post, she said that Dumont had to distract Tulio from checking her out.
Dumont has dismissed that suggestion, although she has claimed that Tulio has blocked Perez on social media after being repeatedly tagged in posts by the Argentine.
The social media antics and back-and-forth have set the stage for a tasty Sin City showdown, which almost came to fruition prematurely at yesterday’s weigh-ins.
Tensions were high as soon as Dumont took to the stage to face off with Perez.
After UFC matchmaker Sean Shelby repeatedly stopped the duo from laying hands on one another, Perez cheekily shook her backside at Dumont.

Dumont then replied by reaching into her shorts and saying: “Wait, hold on, I brought you a rose for you to use.”
She then dangled a strip of CONDOMS in front of Perez before throwing them at her.
A fired-up Dumont then said: “You should be disgusted.”
Perez saw the funny side of the stunt and offered the attending media one of the safe sex devices.
As security dragged her away, Dumont then pulled out some dollar bills and threw them Perez’s way.
She fumed: “You pay w***e with money. Take it, it’s yours.”
A few hours after the incident, Perez posted a video of herself running into Dumont at a Vegas casino to her Instagram.
She captioned the clip: “I just saw Norma on the Strip and she S**T herself 😂
“I thought she said I was scared of her, @norma_dumont_mma YOU DID NOT DO S**T 💩
“See you tomorrow 🤭 .”
