UFC star Molly McCann 'ran from' her sexuality as religion 'wouldn't let' her come out

UFC star Molly McCann has opened up about her struggles with her sexuality in a tell all documentary.

The Liverpudlian fighter is gearing up for a UFC bout on Saturday, March 19 but has spoken about other fights she has come across in her life. Molly, more affectionately known as ‘Meatball’ current focus is primarily on her clash with Luanna Carolina at UFC Fight Night 204, as she builds towards her ultimate goal of becoming flyweight world champion.

However, prior to this, Molly had a bigger challenge on her mind. The 31-year-old came out as gay six years ago but before that, by her own admission, she had ‘ran from’ her sexuality with the notions of public perception and a catholic upbringing deterring her from living life as her true authentic self, as reported by The Mirror.
