Molly McCann has credited The Rock 's 'peoples elbow' for her last two UFC wins - and the actor is backing 'Meatball' to become a champion in the promotion.
McCann, 32, has been on top form in the octagon of late, winning her past three outings. She scored one of the best knockouts of the year in March by stopping Luana Carolina with a spinning back elbow to earn a $50,000 performance bonus. Just four months later, McCann used the same move to finish Hannah Goldy at UFC London and cash another bonus for the win.
After her latest win, McCann jokingly asked The Rock - real name Dwayne Johnson - if she could continue to use his 'peoples elbow' for her next fights. "Excuse me Mr Rock, but can I keep borrowing the peoples elbow. It’s doing me bits," she wrote. The 'peoples elbow' was one of The Rock's signature moves during his WWE career and he replied: "From the electrifying People’s Elbow to the devastating People’s Meatbow. Its all yours! Keep kicking a** and having fun, champ! Much respect, Mr Rock."
