Molly McCann has revealed that she believed she was “done with MMA” after suffering her last defeat in November.
‘Meatball’ had enjoyed a dream start to 2022 thanks to her perfectly-timed spinning elbow KO of Luana Carolina.A moment that saw McCann truly announce herself to the world in front of an electric London crowd. The fairytale continued as the then-32-year-old followed it up with a similar stoppage victory over Hannah Goldy, four months later.
McCann looked to be shaping up as a possible contender for the Flyweight title but her momentum crashed to a halt with a submission defeat to formidable prospect Erin Blanchfield. In an honest interview with BT Sport, ‘Meatball’ confessed that in the aftermath she considered giving up on her fighting career.
