The 25-year-old became the first fighter from Panama to set foot in the octagon and the first female from her country to get a win under the UFC banner with her victory over Wu Yanan at UFC on ABC 1 earlier this month.

Edwards (10-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) took the fight on short notice, replacing Bethe Correia, and outpointed Yanan in a dominant unanimous decision.

“La Pantera” is honored to make history for Panama but said she’s just getting started.

“It’s something that’s very beautiful, and you feel very excited because I know I made history for my country,” Edwards told MMA Junkie in her native Spanish. “I am the first woman to win inside the UFC and the first to be in UFC, so it pushes you to work harder and keep proving. I have many people that look up to me. So it excites you a lot and pushes you to give it your all.”

Edwards already has a second UFC fight booked just a couple of weeks after making her debut. The Panamanian returns to the cage at UFC Fight Night 184 on Saturday, taking on Karol Rosa on short notice in the women’s bantamweight division.
