Shauna Bannon, an Irish strawweight fighter, secured a remarkable victory at UFC London, defeating Puja Tomar with an arm-bar submission following a head kick scare. Bannon expressed deep pride in representing Ireland and emphasized her determination to stay active in 2025, aiming to fight three more times this year. Her experience and comfort on the ground played a crucial role in her comeback victory, as she showcased her skills after a significant year-long gap between fights, underscoring her ambitious plans moving forward in her career.
"I've represented Ireland from a very young age, so it's something that I have a lot of pride with. Going out there and getting the finish and overcoming some adversity makes it that little bit more special as well."
"When Puja Tomar's head kick landed partway through the second round, I was just thinking, 'whatever it takes.' I knew I got dropped and I was on my back, but I'm quite comfortable on my back."
