Irene Aldana after KO win at UFC 145: I don’t ask for fights, but I’m ready for a title shot

It took seven fights for female bantamweight Irene Aldana to finanlly show just how much knockout power she carries in her hands. Paired up against undefeated contender Ketlen Vieira, ‘Robles’ only needed one round to catch the Brazilian with a perfect punch and finish the fight with a highlight reel knockout at UFC 245.

In an interview with Combate, Irene says she will not ask for a title shot against current champion Amanda Nunes, who has just defended her bantamweight title on the same night, but feels like she is prepared for the challenge, if given the opportunity.
