For the second straight fight, Molly McCann left the 02 Arena with her hand raised and the London crowd chanting her name.
Entering her contest, the Liverpool native was looking to improve on her violent spinning back-elbow knockout over Luana Carolina in March. Hannah Goldy was standing next to her, looking for her second consecutive win in the octagon.
After a brief feeling-out, Goldy is ready to move the action forward and bring McCann to the ground. McCann refused to let her opponent use her tactics and defended her attack. After pushing Goldy away, McCann battered her with a spinning back elbow before ending the fight with a barrage of strikes against the fence.
Here’s what fighters had to say following her first-round TKO win.
