UFC Vegas 121 video: Security intervenes following Ailin Perez’s controversial win over Norma Dumont

Ailin Perez won the grudge match over Norma Dumont, but the fight nearly didn't end.

Perez and Dumont competed in a rivalry matchup in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 121. After a matchup that delivered up and down action, as the final horn sounded, it took multiple members of security to step in and keep the two ladies apart before Perez was announced the surprising unanimous decision winner.

Check out the scene after the bout ended below.

Perez set the tone in the first round winning the striking battle — although it was competitive — but a takedown late in the round sealed off a clear-cut round for Perez. Dumont's aggression came out a bit more in Round 2, landing an early takedown, but Perez was able to get back to her feet, which is where the majority of the round was contested. Both women got a bit more tepid as the stanza commenced, although Dumont landed the most significant punch of the round in the final 90 or so seconds. Dumont began taunting and talking to Perez, and almost ate a spinning back fist for her troubles.

The third round looked quite similar to the second, although Perez finally got a hold of Dumont and pushed her against the fence, while landing a brutal knee to the body. Perez landed a big left hand at the horn, and Dumont continued taunting her opponent until security intervened.

The result was a 29-28 on all three scorecards for Perez, which left Dumont stunned, and then the fight almost re-started again after Perez did her dance.

“She treated me like a prostitute, what do you want me to say?,†Perez said in the post-fight interview.

“trash.†Their wives are now seemingly involved in the
back-and-forth.

Henry Cejudo says Brendan Allen's wife sent ‘nasty' messages to
his wife

Strickland's latest outburst about UFC fighter pay, Allen was
asked about the same after his win over Christian
Leroy Duncan at
UFC Vegas 122. Allen opted against criticizing the promotion,
drawing a strong response from Cejudo, who now claims the UFC
middleweight's wife has gotten involved in the feud.

Cejudo claims his wife received a “nasty†message from Allen's
wife. The Olympic gold medalist doesn't want their families to be
involved.

“Brendan Allen's wife sent a nasty message to my wife,†Cejudo said
on the “Pound 4 Pound†podcast. “Me and him are both American,
married to Brazilians, and have American kids… She just went off; I

Jaqueline Amorim receives 6-month suspension for violating UFC Anti-Doping Policy

Jaqueline Amorim has been suspended for six months for violating the UFC Anti-Doping Policy.

On Friday, Combat Sports Anti-Doping (CSAD) announced that Amorim had accepted a six-month suspension after testing positive for low levels of ostarine, a prohibited non-Specified Substance in the class of Anabolic Agents. Ostarine was detected in out-of-competition samples collected from Amorim on July 29, 2026, and August 17, 2026, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with both failed tests being combined into a single violation.

Per CSAD, Amorim fully cooperated with their investigation, and it was determined that Amorim's adverse test results were consistent with exposure to low-level ostarine contamination rather than intentional use. CSAD also noted that the exposure did not provide Amorim “with any significant performance advantage.â€

Amorim's suspension was backdated to Aug. 17, the date she was notified of her test failure and provisional suspension, and expires on Feb. 17, 2027.

Amorim most recently competed at UFC Macau on May 30, where she submitted Loma Lookboonme via first-round armbar.

Kayla Harrison prepares to defend UFC bantamweight title
against Amanda Nunes after neck surgery

Nunes is widely regarded as the greatest female mixed martial
artist of all time. Harrison said she might not have fought again
if Nunes were not her opponent.

“I mean, just to be honest, yeah,†Harrison told Ariel Helwani when
asked if the Nunes fight is the only reason she's returning to
action.

Professional Fighters League lightweight championships before
joining the UFC in 2024. She submitted Julianna
Pena to win the UFC bantamweight title last year. Her first
defense against Nunes (23-5) was scheduled for January, but a neck
