Alana Cook says its “very exciting” being the first Canadian woman to fight for OKTAGON
Interview with Alana Cook
Alana Cook (6-2) discusses her bantamweight fight against Niamh Kinehan (2-0) at OKTAGON 93 on Sept. 12. Alana also spoke about how this fight came together, her training camp for the matchup and how she’ll be making history once she steps foot in the cage.
“I’m the first Canadian woman (to make her OKTAGON debut), and they’ve only ever had four Canadians on the card. I’m the fifth Canadian ever and the first Indigenous woman, so that’s very exciting. I have to give a big thanks to SuckerPunch, my management, for making this happen. I don’t want to wait around for something like DWCS—I want to go where the opportunities are. It’s a really cool-looking show, and it looks like a place where my personality can shine.”
