UFC star Molly McCann has admitted she was emotionally overwhelmed before her fight against Erin Blanchfield
McCann, 32, was tapped out by rising prospect Blanchfield in her pay-per-view debut for the UFC in November. 'Meatball' was unbeaten in three fights heading into the clash, picking up consecutive spinning elbow knockouts against Luana Carolina and Hannah Goldy in London.
The string of wins propelled McCann to stardom as she became a household name in the promotion, alongside sidekick Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett. McCann admitted that just months before fighting Blanchfield, she was becoming overwhelmed with the publicity that came hand-in-hand with her newfound fame and was crying every day for several months.
