Molly McCann makes career 'urge' admission and announces UFC break after Erin Blanchfield defeat

UFC star Molly McCann has revealed she is unsure when she will make her return to competitive action following her recent defeat to Erin Blanchfield.

McCann’s impressive three-win streak was ended by the American at last month’s UFC 281 in New York, losing by submission in round one of the bout. The 32-year-old suffered multiple heavy blows from her opponent and was forced to tap out to avoid further discomfort.

One month has passed since this fight but the pain of November 12 lives on for ‘Meatball Molly’, who plans to take some time away from the sport as she seeks a sense of normality in her life after experiencing a meteoric rise in her career.
