Daly (16-6 MMA, 2-1 UFC) debuted in the UFC at The Ultimate Fighter 20 Finale. Daly missed weight the night before and had to make a statement to impress the UFC, and that she did. With just seven seconds left in the first round, Daly picked up a submission win with an armbar. Daly then faced Canadian Randa Markos at UFC 186, but lost the bout via unanimous decision. Most recently, Daly fought in Dublin in October of 2015, and picked up a decision victory over Ericka Almeida.
