However, fans have been left concerned for the UFC star’s health after she could be seen trembling as she missed weight.
Perez weighed in at 136.5lbs, 0.5lbs over the bantamweight limit, for Saturday’s fight at the Accor Arena.
She was already shaking as she gingerly approached the scales before it became worse after flexing and raising her fists.
The 29-year-old had to be helped away by a member of staff after stepping off the scales.
Reacting on social media, one fan wrote: “No way, cancel that fight.”
Another added: “Man, that weight cut didn’t look good.”
A third also commented: “Looks like she’s struggling.”
Meanwhile, one more fan said: “She doesn’t look all that good.”

However, it is unknown if her bout against Zheleznyakova will go ahead at a catchweight, if at all, or how much of her purse will be forfeited to her opponent.
Perez has caught the eye during her two years with the promotion thanks to her social media activity and post-fight celebrations.
She previously revealed she made more in three days on OnlyFans than the £19,000 she received for her unanimous decision victory over Lucie Pudilova in November last year.
Meanwhile, she celebrates each win by twerking inside the Octagon to the delight of her fans.
