Molly McCann was viciously beaten and submitted by Erin Blanchfield at Madison Square Garden in New York at UFC 281.
Blanchfield took McCann down early in the bout and toyed with the British fighter, who had burst into mainstream consciousness with two brutal knockout victories in London earlier this year. The American showed why she was such a heavy favourite as she outstruck her rival 111-6 before landing a Kimura and stopping the fight.
Despite Blanchfield being from New York, the crowd were all on McCann's side, with a number of British and Irish fans travelling to watch her first pay-per-view outing. But Blanchfield completely dominated from start to finish and secured the submission three-and-a-half minutes into the fight.
