Meatball Molly shares sweet post to mark Paddy the Baddy's birthday

Molly McCann has shared a sweet post to commemorate her friend's birthday.

The UFC fighter is close friends with 'Paddy the Baddy', Patrick Pimblett. Taking to Instagram she shared an image of her helping him put on some boxing gloves, and taping his wrists.

They both looked near enough ready to enter the ring, as Molly captioned the post: "Happy birthday Patrick x".

The two Scousers have been close friends and teammates for more than 10 years. The athletes met while training out of Next Generation MMA in Liverpool.

Speaking of their friendship previously, Paddy told the Liverpool Echo : "Her success is massive to me. To see her winning – the fact we can both sit there be happy and celebrate a win together, there's nothing like it – it's a family business to us."

Elsewhere, Molly told Sky Sports: "He is my little big brother and he gives me confidence and an edge and he makes me believe. I can do it without him but it's a lot better doing it with him. Just seeing his reaction when I won and then I got to sit with Dana White when he won and I snuck in the cage and got to share that moment together.

"You could just see how much it meant. We are a bit different and we will be like Marmite, you will love us or hate us and that's fine, everybody is entitled to their opinion, it doesn't matter to us, we're just out here living our best life. When we both got the £50,000 bonus, on the way home I was like 'I always envisioned this but I never thought it would really come true'. And he went 'I did, I know where we're going' and sometimes it's good to hear him reaffirm."
