VIDEO: Aisling Daly opens up about her place in the strawweight division and upcoming Dublin bout

"Fair play to her for taking the fight"

Aisling Daly’s coming home.

The only woman competing in the UFC fights in Dublin for the first time since 2013 when she takes on the 7-1 Brazilian prospect Ericka Almeida.

Almeida, a former Jungle Fights champion, has never fought outside of Brazil before and Ais the Bash is looking forward to giving her a rough welcome to the Irish capital on October 24th.

Daly has gone 1-1 since her stint on The Ultimate Fighter: Season 20 and is looking to turn that into a winning record.

We got the chance to sit down with Daly recently and spoke about everything from Almeida to the IV ban and a potential match-up with Paige VanZant.
