What a submission

Ben Kiely

Aisling Daly became the first Irish woman to win in the UFC tonight in the TUF 20 finale

Daly, who was a cast member on The Ultimate Fighter season 20, submitted her opponent Alex Chambers in superb fashion. After some excellent work on the mat, Daly eventually wore her Australian opponent down and locked in the armbar, forcing a tap at 4:51 of the first round.

It marked Daly’s eighth win by submission and fifth by armbar in her career. She now holds a 15-5 record in professional MMA with one UFC victory under her belt. She has now secured her immediate future in the world’s largest MMA promotion.
