India's most dangerous woman: MMA fighter Asha Roka sets sights on Olympics
She's super conscious in front of the camera, shy enough to ask her friend to look away as she gets ready for the interview. Her quiet body language, a complete contrast with the one she displayed inside the octagon at Super Fight League (SFL).
Asha Roka not only won every single match she fought, but she won them all in under a minute and 45 seconds. Representing Sher-e-Punjab at the SFL, 18-year-old Roka pretty much destroyed all her opponents, each time within the first round.
Confident of her fighting skills, Asha Roka told Catch that her true strength was boxing, and her intention at the SFL finals was to knockout Liz Pereira. And she absolutely did, knocking out the jiu jitsu specialist with ease.
Going by how she lives up to her word, we wouldn't be surprised at all to see her kick ass at the Olympics in the near future, as she intends to.
Feminist and culturally displaced, Durga tries her best to live up to her overpowering name. She speaks four languages, by default, and has an unhealthy love for cheesy foods. Assistant Editor at Catch, Durga hopes to bring in a focus on gender politics and the role in plays in all our interactions.
