Molly McCann’s Weight Class Move Pays Off with Submission Victory

In a crucial moment for her UFC career, Molly McCann bounced back with a dominant first round victory over Diana Belbita. After two consecutive losses due to submissions, McCann moved down to the 115lbs weight class and aimed to prove herself.

She showcased her striking skills from the start forcing Belbita on the defensive with aggressive punches. Despite giving up reach, McCann looked comfortable in her new weight class. Known for her striking, she also displayed improved grappling securing takedowns and controlling the fight on the ground.

McCann unleashed a barrage of strikes from the mount position eventually locking in an armbar to secure her first submission win. Reflecting on her journey, McCann apologized for not moving to her natural weight class sooner but expressed determination to chase UFC gold.

She credited her coach and emphasized her resilience in overcoming adversity.
