Warrior Daly retains cage title

A DUBLIN woman retained her world title in cage fighting.

The 5ft 2ins cage warrior Aisling Daly, nicknamed ‘Ash the Bash’, successfully defended her Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) belt against US contender Kelly Warren in front of a packed house in Medina, Ohio.

Daly, 23, had little more than a nosebleed after winning her fight towards the end of the second round by armbar, a lock on her opponent’s arm forcing a submission.
