Molly McCann is back and taking on former foe Diana Belbita. McCann is making her debut at 115 pounds after consecutive losses at 125 pounds. She’s rematching Diana Belbita in her new division. The pair have fought before in 2019 where McCann picked up a unanimous decision win. Molly brings eyeballs as the featured prelim and will want to kickstart a run in the 115lb division.
Molly McCann
Molly McCann is a firm favourite among UFC fans and brings a style to justify her popularity. After 2 successive submission loses the ‘meatball’ wants a new beginning at 115lbs. Before her submission losses, McCann had scored back-to-back viral KOs of Luana Carolina & Hannah Goldy. Those earned her a ranking in the top 15, however back to back losses saw many question her future in the UFC. Consequently, this fight represents a new lease of life for Molly should she pick up the win.
Diana Belbita
Belbita has been up and down in her UFC career, and since the loss to Molly she’s 2-3 with the promotion. She recently lost a unanimous decision to UFC veteran Karolina Kowalkiewicz. Previous to that she has wins over Hannah Goldy & Maria Oliveira, Diana is dangerous if she can put it together on fight night. She’ll be fighting for her UFC career against McCann and with added motivation to avenge her previous loss, Diana will be a handful.
