Is Molly McCann fighting at UFC London 2022? Next fight date and opponent

Molly McCann will fight at UFC London on July 23 coming off the back of her impressive win at the O2 Arena in March. After delivering a knockout of the year contender earlier this year, McCann will be back in action at UFC London in less than four weeks with her fight now confirmed.

McCann landed a spinning back elbow on Luana Carolina in the third round to secure her victory in emphatic fashion in front of 20,000 supporters where she was a clear fans' favourite.

And she will now return to the octagon in the British capital with the UFC returning after an incredible March 19 card. The previous card at the O2 Arena on March 19, saw incredible fights throughout the night - including Paddy Pimblett's first-round win, McCann's aforementioned KO and Tom Aspinall's statement victory as every British fighter except for one was able to win their match-ups in a huge night for British MMA.

This time, McCann will face Hannah Goldy in the women's flyweight division, an American fighter with a 6-2 record in mixed martial arts including winning her last UFC bout by way of an armbar submission.

Another win for McCann could volt her in to the rankings, as she looks to secure a world title fight before she retires, admitting she also has plans to return to boxing one day. But all her focus will now turn to Goldy on the main card of the event.

Elsewhere, teammate Paddy Pimblett will also fight on the night, facing his toughest test of his career in the dangerous Jordan Leavitt.

Fellow Liverpudlian Darren Till will also be in action, when he'll come up against Jack Hermansson.
