Paddy Pimblett Shares ‘Heartbreaking’ Response to Molly McCann’s Retirement at UFC London

It was a heartbreaking night for Paddy Pimblett in London.

While the Liverpudlian didn’t step inside the Octagon, his “big sister” Molly McCann did in hopes of climbing back into the win column following a unanimous decision loss to Bruna Brasil in July. Unfortunately, that would not be the case.

Squaring off with Brazilian newcomer Alexia Thainara, McCann was quickly put on her back before being submitted in the final 30 seconds of the opening round via a rear-naked choke.
