Speaking on the potential of a mega bout with Astrid, Elle said on DAZN: “I think I want bigger [and] badder things, no offence.

“Ronda Rousey or Astrid Wett?”

While Astrid said to Elle: “The weight class is difficult. If you want the belt, you’ll come down.

“If you win a belt at your weight, I’ll have to come up. So yeah, I’m happy with mine.”

Astrid also said on the fight: “It was tougher than I thought. It’s annoying about my nose it bled recently it’s so easy to cut open. Fair play to AJ, she brought it.

“I was very confident. I trained so hard for this and was so well conditioned. I’m very proud of myself.

“If AJ wants to prove she’s on my level – she was very close – I’m more than happy for a rematch. I’m looking forward not backwards.”

Astrid was quick to take to social media after her victory, tweeting: “I AM SO HAPPY.”
