Molly McCann declared that she had been through “hell and back” after becoming the first English woman to claim a win in the Octagon at UFC London last weekend.
Her opponent Priscila Cachoeira certainly made “Meatball” work for the victory after landing a punishing right hook which fractured the Liverpudlian’s orbital in the final round of their clash.
Pictures of McCann’s ballooned eye socket went viral in the aftermath of her historic win, and even though orbital injuries can be troublesome, there’s no wiping the smile of the U.K. flyweight’s face since having her hand raised as a UFC fighter for the first time.
