Matchroom Molly set for new chapter
Liverpool Echo
|July 04, 2025
FORMER UFC star Molly McCann has signed with Matchroom Boxing to begin a professional career within the ring.
The 35-year-old won 14 of her 22 fights across a 10-year-career and is one of the most successful and high-profile women's fighters in British MMA history.
However, she announced her retirement from UFC in March after tapping out to Alexia Thainara at The O2 Arena in London.
But in a shock development, McCann, whose nickname is 'Meatball' after working in a sandwich shop, has announced she wants to 'win a world title within eight fights' after signing with Matchroom.
