Molly McCann will swap beers for shakes to celebrate friend Leah McCourt's win

UFC star Molly McCann admits won't be able to have a drink in celebration if her friend Leah McCourt wins at Bellator 285 this weekend.

McCann is just weeks away from her pay-per-view debut at Madison Square Garden, where she will fight Erin Blanchfield on the main card of a star-studded UFC 281 event. She faces a stern test in the No.12-ranked American, and won't be drinking until after that bout on November 12.

And she has joked she will be switching the "bevvy" for pre-workout as she celebrates with No.5-ranked McCourt on Friday night, assuming she can get past Dayana Silva at the 3Arena. The Belfast fighter is a fan favourite in Dublin, and will get a monstrous reception should she land another home win on the promotion's return to Ireland.
