Fresh off her fifth straight UFC win at UFC 311, Perez wasn&rsquo;t content to just celebrate her victory over Karol Rosa.

The way Cortez tells it, she ran into the UFC&rsquo;s self-proclaimed &ldquo;twerk queen&rdquo; and wasn&rsquo;t about to let the moment pass without some choice words.&nbsp;<\/p><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>&ldquo;Just landed.
