Post-fight interview with Uisneach Graham at Artemis Fight Night 1 after she won the ISKA Irish 55 kg women’s title. She says she had already beaten the same taller opponent on Deliverance and did so again in a physical bout, training to step off knees, push, and low-kick the body and legs while getting inside her striking. She credits preparation at Lanka Muay Thai, sparring tall teammates including her brother Dean and Liam G, and says height does not stop her. Beyond the belt, she wanted to prove she can do it and will fight for what she wants. She praises an all-women card as rare compared with one or two female bouts on typical shows and as a chance to show women can match or beat men in quality. At 17, with three years of competing, she is among older juniors on a card with many junior bouts and tells younger girls that losses are fine and rematches can go the other way. She plans to fight again in two weeks at the Irish Sandy Open in Dublin, likely her last bout of the year, then relax her diet. She shouts out a best friend she calls her sister, who was also fighting for the same title that night.
