Molly McCann announced on UFC London card as July opponent confirmed

After delivering a knockout of the year contender at the O2 Arena earlier this year, Molly McCann will be back in action at UFC London this summer with her fight now confirmed. McCann delivered a knockout of the year contender when she landed a spinning back elbow on Luana Carolina in the third round to secure her victory.

And she will now return to the octagon in the British capital with the UFC returning after an incredible March 19 card. The stacked card at the O2 Arena, saw incredible fights throughout the night - including Paddy Pimblett's first-round win, Molly McCann's aforementioned KO and Tom Aspinall's statement victory as every British fighter except for one was able to win their match-ups in a huge night for British MMA.

McCann will face Hannah Goldy in the women's flyweight division, an American fighter with a 6-2 record in mixed martial arts including winning her last UFC bout by way of an armbar submission.

Another win for McCann could volt her in to the rankings, as she looks to secure a world title fight before she retires, admitting she also has plans to return to boxing one day.

But all her focus will now turn to Goldy, with McCann expected to fight on the main card along with fellow Scouser Darren Till.

Till will have his first fight since September after he was defeated to the tricky wrestling Derek Brunson, who was able to submit Till in what was his fourth loss in his last five fights.

Till has since been training with Khamzat Chimeav, defining his game whilst training in Sweden.

Elsewhere, Paddy Pimblett has not ruled out his name being on the card, whilst leaks have shown his name alongside German Ottman Azaitar.
