UFC star Molly McCann will boycott England's World Cup campaign amid concerns over host nation Qatar's human rights record.
The flyweight fighter takes on Erin Blanchfield at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night on the prelims of UFC 281, and is laser-focused on her first pay-per-view outing. But asked by reporters at the pre-fight media day if "football's coming home", she vowed not to watch the tournament due to having issues with where it is being held.
McCann played football in her teens before taking on fighting full time, first in boxing and then MMA where she is now the No.15-ranked flyweight in the world. She's an Everton fan who frequents Goodison Park, but she has made it clear that she won't be watching the Three Lions this year as they look to build on their Euros success.
