The UFC returns to Paris, France, on Saturday as a lightweight clash between Renato Moicano and Benoit Saint-Denis tops the bill.
In the prelims, Perez, who has won three fights in a row inside the famed Octagon, takes on Daria Zheleznyakova in what was supposed to be a bantamweight contest.
However, the 29-year-old missed weight at Friday's official weigh-in, tipping the scales at 136.5lbs.

At the time of writing, Zheleznyakova vs. Perez is still on despite the latter seemingly struggling at the UFC weigh-in.
As a result of missing weight by 0.5lbs, she will forfeit 20 per cent of her purse.
After weighing in, she took to social media, writing on X: "There's a fight! Let's go Argentina."
Perez was the only fighter to miss weight as all the other combatants successfully made weight for the event.

She lost to Stephanie Egger before picking up wins over Ashlee Evans-Smith, Lucie Pudilova and Joselyne Edwards.
This will be Perez's second fight on French soil, having fought on the UFC Paris card against Egger back in September 2022.
