Molly McCann explains laying gloves in cage after UFC Vegas 18 loss to Lara Fritzen Procopio

Molly McCann appeared to retire after a loss to Laura Fritzen Procopio on the UFC Vegas 18 prelims, but that wasn’t the case.

McMann laid her gloves on the canvas before judges declared Procopio the winner via unanimous decision in the flyweight contest. As she later explained, the gesture was not related to her professional career.

Before I get into it. I left the gloves in the cage for my dad. There’s still fight in this old dog yet. @dc_mma @DominickCruz
