Molly McCann opens up about love and ‘safe space’ that helps UFC career

Molly McCann has opened up about how getting engaged has given her a new outlook and will help her UFC career.

2022 proved to be a rollercoaster for ‘Meatball’, earning global acclaim with stunning back-to-back wins, only to end with a submission defeat to rising prospect Erin Blanchfield. Prior to her last fight in November, the Liverpool-born fighter looked to be heading for a potential title fight but has admitted that she considered quitting MMA in the aftermath.

Overcoming the feelings of “grief” that accompanied her loss, McCann celebrated the New year by getting engaged to her partner, Ellis. As she prepares to return at UFC London in July, McCann has admitted how their relationship helps her combat the struggles that she faces throughout her career.
