Molly McCann flattens Luana Carolina with emphatic knockout at UFC London

Molly McCann secured the most impressive win of her career to date at UFC London, defeating Luana Carolina in incredible fashion.

McCann came out strong in the first round, dominating her opponent and having her hurt badly on two occasions.

Carolina came back well in the second and landed a few shots of her own, but Meatball Molly was able to take her opponent down twice in the round.

The final round saw Carolina come on strong, but McCann set up her opponent and hit her flush with a perfectly executed reverse spinning elbow to close the deal.

Carolina was knocked out, but was able to get up and seemed to be okay.

The win now means that Everton fan McCann has a 12-4 record, winning five of her eight fights in the UFC.

McCann was a fans favourite, with her relentless approach having thousands cheering her on, as she received the biggest applause of the night so far after knocking Carolina out.

Her opponent had the bigger reach, and was seen as the favourite by some, but McCann's approach was too much.

McCann was quick to mention her teammate, Paddy Pimblett, who fights a little later tonight when he faces Kazula Vargas.
