Molly McCann dares Erin Blanchfield to try and “wrestlef***” her in UFC 281 fight

Molly McCann has vowed to "punch the head off" Erin Blanchfield if she tries to "wrestlef***" her in their fight at UFC 281.

McCann, 32, faces one of the toughest challenges of her UFC career this Saturday in 23-year-old wrestling standout Blanchfield, who is unbeaten in the promotion. 'Meatball' was on the brink of being cut from the UFC after losing back-to-back fights, but has since become a household name thanks to consecutive spinning elbow knockouts in London this year.

Blanchfield is the betting favourite over McCann and many fans think her wrestling will be too much for the Liverpudlian, who has previously won amateur titles in boxing. McCann feels Blanchfield will try her best to wrestle her in their fight, but she will ultimately suffer the same fate as her last two opponents.
