Molly McCann and Tom Aspinall were overcome with emotion after UFC Vegas 36 on Saturday night. The Liverpudlians were two of four performance bonus recipients and shed some tears upon being told the good news.
McCann earned a unanimous decision win over Ji Yeon Kim on the preliminary portion of the event. ‘Meatball’ fought through some adversity in the opening round after being dropped to the canvas by an accidental clash of heads. She went on to overwhelm Kim in a war that resulted in them being awarded the ‘Fight of the Night’ bonus.
