“I don’t think there’s much of a chance for her”: Aisling Daly vows to stop Michelle Waterson at UFC Hamburg

AISLING Daly is all set to return to action at UFC Fight Night in Hamburg, Germany.

The Irish women’s MMA favourite and SBG stalwart has been matched against former Invicta atomweight champ Michelle ‘Karate Hottie’ Waterson.

And ‘Ais The Bash’ can’t wait to jump back into the Octagon for the first time since last October.

“I’m really excited,” she told SunSport.

“Michelle is very high-profile and has a good reputation for being an exciting fighter.

“I was really happy to get a fight – I was a while on the bench so it’s great to get back in there. You’re not getting any younger so you want to do the most you can.”

Daly hasn’t fought since her emotional victory against Ericka Almeida at UFC Dublin last year.

And the Dubliner says she’s delighted to be fighting someone with such a recognisable name as she looks to return with a high-profile win in Hamburg.

“She has a name so a win would really do me some good.

“I’m delighted with the match-up – it’s grappler versus striker.

“Michelle’s competed at 105 before so I’m going to be a lot bigger and I’ll probably have a strength advantage as well.

“I think me at 100% now, with everything going well – a good fight camp behind me and good nutrition and being in good shape coming into this fight, I don’t think there’s much of a chance for her. This is mine.

“It’s gonna be typical Ais the Bash – aggressive striking and grappling. I’m looking to finish this fight. I want to put a stamp on this and start working towards title contention.”
