'Fiona' put on an impressive performance as she dominated her opponent for the majority of the fight. The bout lasted 15 minutes and went to the judges' scorecards. Perez was declared the winner via unanimous decision with 30-25, 30-25, and 30-26 on the three scorecards.

As she got her hand raised, Perez started twerking on the live broadcast in order to celebrate her victory. She used to be a dancer before transitioning to MMA, specializing in reggaeton, salsa, and bachata.
