Conor McGregor sends "mad" advice to UFC rising star Molly McCann

Molly McCann has revealed Conor McGregor text her some "mad" advice on how to stay focused on her fighting career during her new-found fame.

McCann has recorded a sensational rise this year after picking up wins on back-to-back UFC London cards alongside teammate Paddy Pimblett. The female star's entertaining personality and trash-talking has seen her popularity grow, with the star's latest outing set to take place against Erin Blanchfield at UFC 281 in Madison Square Garden on Saturday night.

UFC superstar McGregor is still the name on everyone's lips in the sport despite being out of action after breaking his leg in defeat by Dustin Poirier last July. And McCann has revealed McGregor told her to let no-one else into the gym when she is preparing for fights to help remain grounded during her recent rise.
