LAS VEGAS \u2013 Joselyne Edwards met the media Saturday after her knockout win over Priscila Cachoeira at UFC on ESPN 72.<\/p>\n

Edwards (16-6 MMA, 7-4 UFC) took out Cachoeira (13-7 MMA, 5-7 UFC) in the first round on the prelims at the UFC Apex. It was a finish that looked like it was inevitable for quite a bit before it happened with Cachoeira dropping her hands \u2013 and Edwards took advantage.<\/p>\n

Edwards, from Panama, has won three straight fights and picked up her first UFC post-fight bonus for her finish Saturday. Things appear to be going in the right direction for the 29-year-old, who had a stretch of five fights in which she went 3-2, but missed weight in all three of the wins.<\/p>\n

Now she has back-to-back first-round knockout wins less than four months apart following her April win over Chelsea Chandler \u2013 and she wants former flyweight title challenger Irene Aldana next.<\/p>\n

“I’m not a loud mouth to give you (sound) bites for you to use,” Edwards said. “I’m someone that’s been very respectful, but I always wanted to fight (Aldana). “\u2026 I’m very happy about the work I’ve done. The weight’s going to be a very tedious thing to go through, but I was able to work through it and I’m very happy about it.”<\/p>\n
