“She’s officially signed with Matchroom Boxing,” Hearn said. “Molly McCann will compete now as a boxer, about time I’d like to say as well. Former [Amateur Boxing Association] champion. Everyone knows the ability as a boxer, obviously been a massive star within the UFC. Built a profile globally as well and we’re delighted to start the journey with her.”
McCann, 35, announced her retirement from MMA competition this past March following a first-round submission loss to Alexia Thainara. Competing at flyweight and later strawweight, “Meatball” had a memorable MMA career, capturing the inaugural Cage Warriors 125-pound title in 2018 before making a jump to the UFC.
Inside the octagon, McCann had mixed results, authoring several highlight-reel knockouts, establishing herself as a star in her native England, and putting herself on the cusp of title contention with a 6-2 run from 2019-2022. A 1-4 slump (with three of those losses coming by way of first-round submission) signaled the end of her UFC run.
