Great news for the SBG fighter

If you had flights booked to Poland to see Aisling Daly’s next fight, you might want to see if you can get the destination changed to Canada.

Ais the Bash was gutted when her original fight, at UFC Fight Night 64 in Krakow, fell through after opponent Claudia Gadelha had to withdraw with a back injury earlier this week.

But the upset didn’t last long and she has been handed a brand spanking new fight, against TUF 20 castmate Randa Markos at UFC 186 on 25 April.

The schedule switch-up means Daly (15-5) will get an extra fortnight of preparation before she meets Markos (4-2) who is coming off a split decision loss to Jessica Penne.

Daly’s fight brings the UFC 186 card back up to 12 fights after the main event, a bantamweight title fight between TJ Dillashaw and Renan Barao, was scrapped after Dillashaw pulled out with a broken rib.

The event will now be headlined by flyweight championship bout between champion Demetrious Johnson and Kyoji Horiguchi.
