\n

But Perez made one thing clear. If you miss chia weight loss, the fight is over.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In an interview with MMA addict<\/em>Perez didn’t mince words.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think Macy can beat me in any way or in any area,\u201d Perez said. \u201cBy the way, even from the scales I saw, it looked like she wasn\u2019t going to gain weight. If she didn\u2019t gain weight, I wouldn\u2019t fight, so she\u2019s going to have to work on it\u2026 She didn\u2019t gain weight in her last fight, and she didn\u2019t do the same in the fight before that, because she wasn\u2019t going to gain weight, so she ended up at a catchweight with Ketlen Vieira. So she suggested a catchweight.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWith me it won\u2019t work.\u201d Perez continued. \u201cFor the past three months, I\u2019ve been preparing to gain weight first and then fight again. So there are no excuses. I\u2019ve had a lot of time. I see him every day at UFC PI, and he\u2019s huge. I feel like I can\u2019t gain weight. If I don\u2019t gain weight, I don\u2019t fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t want this opponent because he was very boring and ugly, but things happen for a reason,\u201d Perez concluded. \u201cAs we saw in France, the finish is coming.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

With Perez taking a firm stance, UFC officials may have to watch the weigh-ins closely to see if this fight can actually make it to the Octagon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
