Molly McCann will fight in her home country for the second time in a row when the UFC returns to London on July 23.
One of the first additions to an event expected to be a UFC Fight Night card, McCann (12-4 MMA, 5-3 UFC) will face off with American Hannah Goldy (6-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) in a flyweight bout, the promotion announced Tuesday. The event takes place at The O2 and streams on ESPN+.
McCann most recently competed in London in March, when she blew the roof off The O2 with a violent spinning backfist knockout of Luana Carolina. With the victory, McCann made it back-to-back victories after a unanimous decision win over Ji Yeon Kim in September.
Goldy is coming off her first UFC victory. In September, she snapped a two-fight skid when she submitted Emily Whitmire with a first-round armbar. The win was her first pro submission and second pro finish overall.
