STEPHANIE EGGER VS AILIN PEREZ LOWDOWN
Stephanie Egger (7-3) clearly wants to make up for her recent loss as she steps in on short notice to replace Zarah Fairn Dos Santos who misses out on performing in her city. Egger only fought four weeks ago at UFC Vegas 50 and was coming in off two brilliant finishes – Shanna Young (2021 – TKO) and Jessica-Rose Clark (2022 – Submission). She met Mayra Bueno Silva who let go of an armbar feeling a tap which judges outside the octagon confirm however, Egger still protests her innocence in not tapping. So, now she wants to get back in the win column as soon as possible.
She welcomes Ailin Perez (7-1) to the octagon for her debut and she is coming in hot with five finishes to her name. The only blip on her record came after an illegal knee and disqualification. Besides that, she has blown away her competition and is coming off TKO’s this year over Romina Aguirre and Stephanie Bragayrac for the Samurai Fight House promotion.
STEPHANIE EGGER VS AILIN PEREZ PREDICTION
Egger has only had 10 days to prepare and Perez has looked very impressive in her young career. However, her competition is absolutely nothing to write home about. Five of her eight opponents have a grand total of zero wins on the record.
The Argentinian is a brute and has power to be feared, however we can only take her previous fights with a pinch of salt. Egger will also be smaller than her, but she has raw strength, judo strength and she will not be able to throw her around.
Perez may step up to the UFC level seamlessly and there is value on her considering the odds, but we have not seen anything to suggest that she will, especially taking on someone with the grappling pedigree of Egger.
