Healy Dayan Set To Make Most Of Opportunity At WNO | What To Know About Her

Healy Dayan got the call late to join the Tezos WNO 19 card, and now she has an opportunity to take advantage of the moment. 

The Australian grappler replaced Ally Wolski on the Tezos WNO: Meregali vs Duarte card on Aug. 10 in Austin at the Palmer Center. She will face one of the rising up-and-comers in the sport in 16-year old Helena Crevar. 

WNO: Meregali vs. Duarte features a stacked card along with one-half its co-main event, Nicholas Meregali facing Kaynan Duarte in a heavyweight bout.

Meregali made quick work of Pedro Marinho in the last WNO event in May, but now faces Duarte, the 2022 ADCC World Champion in the light heavyweight division. Duarte won gold in the super-heavyweight division at the 2023 IBJJF European Championships.

But the undercard features several anticipated fights, including Crevar’s and Dayan's WNO debut. Here’s what to know about Healy Dayan.

What Happened To Ally Wolski?

Wolski suffered an injury to her leg, according to her Instagram. 

She posted with a photo of her in a cast:  

"Super lame when your foot dangles off your leg. Literally had to hold my shin together to be carried to the car. This x ray picture doesn’t do it justice, but I have a pretty big spiral fracture on one side and a little chip off the tip of the other.

That being said, I obviously had to pull out of WNO which broke my heart, but I’ll be back to, now 3-limb, training as soon as surgery is done.

Good news, when they sedated me to reset my bone, I started shadow boxing, degraded Krav Maga, and then offered people to come train jiujitsu lmao."
