In an interview with Sherdog, she said, “My main goal is to have my son near me. I can’t live in Argentina since my academy is in Miami. The hardest part is being far away from my son. My prize after each fight is to always to return to Argentina in good health, so I can hug him and tell him how much I miss him. He’s my motivation, focus and inspiration for waking up every day and putting in all this hard work with my training partners.”

“When I decided to leave [my son] I thought about it for a whole month, in December of last year [2020] when my manager called me. I told him I was going to think about it, and in January he confirmed it. There I began to leave everything ready and prepare myself mentally,” Ailin Perez told Argentine media outlet Clarin.
