Molly McCann reveals UFC London fight purse compared to Paddy Pimblett

Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann have revealed how much they paid from UFC London this past weekend after they had both secured emphatic victories inside the cage, finishing their opponents in dramatic style. The Liverpool fighters were both on the main card, with McCann becoming the first British woman to fight on a main card in UFC history.

McCann fought first as she hoped to continue her momentum from her last win against Luana Carolina. The London crowd gave her an incredible reception as she made her way to the ring before going on to dominate the first round. Meatball Molly kept up that pace in the second, before Carolina came back strongly in the third. Then, McCann hit Carolina with a spinning back elbow out of the clinch, knocking her out.

Around 45 minutes later, Pimblett produced a similar stunning performance. Like his first fight against Luigi Vendramini last year, the Baddy took a big shot to the face, with Kazula Vargas going for the take down. However, Pimblett was able to regroup, whilst then excellently executing a Judo hip toss and before using his black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to get in position before locking in a rear naked choke, locking it in tight giving Vargas no choice but to tap.
