Molly McCann blitzes Hannah Goldy in stunning first-round knockout at UFC London

Molly McCann extended her UFC win streak to three with a vicious knockout of Hannah Goldy at UFC London.

After a knockout of the year contender at the O2 arena back in March, McCann needed less than one round to dispose of Goldy in front of a sold-out crowd.

The Evertonian started with blistering pace, controlling the centre of the Octagon and pinning Goldy back.

The strikes started to burst through Goldy's guard, with McCann switching stance constantly to land her shots.

McCann continued to land a flurry of shots which brought the crowd to its feet as Goldy backed up against the fence.

It proved to be another spinning elbow which was the beginning of the end for Goldy with the referee stepping in to end the contest.

McCann said after the win: "Have you ever seen lightning strike twice? Well now you have!"

The flyweight extends her UFC win-streak to three and refused to call out an opponent following another impressive win.

McCann's victory was extra sweet as Barstool Sports president David Portnoy was in attendance to support their latest athlete, with McCann penning a six-figure deal with the American company after her last win.
