UFC Fight Night tips: Molly McCann to serve up another London classic against Julija Stoliarenko
Molly McCann celebrates after knocking out Hannah Goldy
Molly McCann returns to London as she looks to produce another memorable performance in the English capital.
Molly McCann saw her popularity soar following back-to-back victories in London during the early months of 2022.
The 33-year-old picked up 'Performance of the Night' for both bouts before being thrust on the UFC 281 stage against Erin Blanchfield.
McCann ultimately came up short as she suffered a first-round submission defeat against the current number three in the women's flyweight division.
The Brit will be looking rekindle her momentum as she returns to London to take on Lithuania's Julija Stoliarenko.
The 30-year-old opponent made her breakthrough on the Ultimate Fighter as a featherweight and since then, she has competed at 145 pounds or catchweight.
This weekend, Stoliarenko will make her flyweight debut in the UFC - a category which the Lithuanian has described as her 'natural weight class'.
Following a first-round TKO defeat to Chelsea Chandler last weekend, Stoliarenko needs to impress in London.
The Lithuanian has won just one of her five fights with the UFC - a submission victory over Jessica-Rose Clark back in July 2022.
McCann, on the other hand, has won six of her 10 bouts with the organisation - including three of her last four.
"I've nearly given my eyesight to this company," said McCann ahead of the fight, as quoted by BBC Sport. "I've broken bones, torn ligaments.
"I give every interview that I can and I do everything to represent this company to the best of my ability.
"I'm kill or be killed, aren't I? My fights aren't boring, I try to be a fan favourite and I'll show that on Saturday."
McCann is unbeaten in her three fights in London and we expect that run to continue against Stoliarenko.
