Molly McCann Earned Her Confidence

A day after notching her second win of 2019, Molly McCann felt like she could breathe again.

Despite entering her bout with Ariane Lipski as a moderate betting underdog, McCann dominated in both striking and grappling exchanges en route to a unanimous decision victory. She did so while entertaining the crowd, at different points waving to the fans following a takedown and, with 10 seconds left in the fight, pointing to the ground and asking Lipski to slug it out until the end.

What a difference a year makes.

“I don’t have to be scared because it’s routine now,” McCann told UFC.
