Molly McCann has now won three fights in a row
Molly McCann is having an amazing run in the UFC at the moment. The 32-year-old is currently on a three-fight win streak, all of which were exciting encounters.
The winning streak started in September 2021. McCann went up against Ji Yeon Kim at UFC Fight Night: Brunson vs. Till. The two flyweights engaged in a back-and-forth battle that ended with a unanimous decision victory for 'Meatball'. The contest was also declared Fight of the Night, allowing the two fighters to take home a bonus cheque of $50,000 each.
McCann then took on Luana Carolina at March's UFC London event. That night, the 32-year-old delivered one of the best knockouts of the year, finishing Carolina with a brutal spinning back elbow. 'Meatball' won a Performance of the Night bonus that night as well.
Now off her third straight win, McCann is on a great run. If 'Meatball' manages to capitalize on this momentum and continue winning fights, she could soon be in contention for a title shot.
