Who is Hannah Goldy? Molly McCann UFC London opponent's record and what to expect

Molly McCann will look to continue her momentum with a third consecutive UFC win tonight coming off the back of her impressive victory at the O2 Arena in March. After delivering a knockout of the year contender earlier this year, McCann is back in action against Hannah Goldy at the same venue.

McCann landed a spinning back elbow on Luana Carolina in the third round to secure her victory in emphatic fashion - this coming after her victory over Ji Yeon Kim on Darren Till's undercard back in September.

Should she win tonight, 'Meatball' Molly would be hugely elevated in the women's flyweight division - and will be a step closer to realising her dream of challenging for a UFC title.

But who is Goldy? Here's a look at her career so far and what we can expect from the 30-year-old American.

Who is Hannah Goldy?

Hannah Goldy is a 30-year-old MMA fighter from Vermont, who only begun combat sports eight years ago.

After four wins to start her professional career, she was spotted by a UFC talent scout and put onto Dana White's Contender Series. She would win her fight and would be elevated to the UFC roster.

Since then, Goldy lost her first two fights - both coming by way of decision. But in her last outing, she secured a first-round win by way of submission after locking in an armbar.

Now, she's been given the opportunity to spoil the party for McCann, who will be a heavy fan favourite.

When is McCann vs Goldy?

The two will meet on the main event card at UFC Fight Night 208 in London tonight.

Tom Aspinall will headline the card against Curtis Blaydes, while Paddy Pimblett also features.
