2018 was a big year for “Meatball” as she claimed the Cage Warriors flyweight title, which eventually secured her a UFC deal. Things only picked up for the Next Generation fighter when she was slated for a debut in her hometown in the same arena that she claimed the flyweight strap. However, a second-round loss to Gillian Robertson did not fit in with the fairytale entrance onto the world’s biggest MMA stage that U.K. fans had envisaged for her.
McCann has been booked for her sophomore trip to the Octagon at UFC London in March, but she has no hesitation in revealing that the road from her debut to her second UFC outing was a very challenging one.
