Veteran former Cage Warriors flyweight champion, Molly McCann has announced her retirement from mixed martial arts tonight with immediate effect, off the back of a one-sided opening round submission loss to Brazilian rival, Alexia Thainara on the main card of UFC London.
McCann, a native of Liverpool, suffered her second consecutive loss in tonight’s clash with short-notice foe, Thainara, following a prior decision loss against Bruna Brasil at UFC 304 in the summer of last year in Manchester.
And returning tonight at the flyweight limit, veteran contender, McCann took on short-notice replacement, Tahinara, however, came unstuck in a one-sided opening round rear-naked choke submission loss.
