Round 3 face \u00e0 Luana Carolina, Molly McCann balance un spinning back elbow venu de nulle part. Paul Felder venait juste de lancer aux commentaires qu&rsquo;il fallait se m\u00e9fier de ce coup : une seconde plus tard, le coude part et la Br\u00e9silienne s&rsquo;\u00e9croule. La s\u00e9quence devient virale dans l&rsquo;heure, et \u00ab\u00a0Meatball\u00a0\u00bb passe du statut de combattante locale \u00e0 celui de visage le plus reconnaissable du roster f\u00e9minin britannique.<\/p>\n<h3>Liverpool jusqu&rsquo;au bout des gants<\/h3>\n<p>N\u00e9e le 4 mai 1990 \u00e0 Liverpool, Molly McCann s&rsquo;entra\u00eene \u00e0 la Next Generation MMA, la salle o\u00f9 \u00e9volue aussi son ami et compatriote Paddy Pimblett. Le duo est devenu un symbole de la sc\u00e8ne anglaise : sur la carte de mars 2022, les deux gagnent le m\u00eame soir. Supportrice revendiqu\u00e9e d&rsquo;Everton, accent et fiert\u00e9 de la ville assum\u00e9s, elle a transform\u00e9 chaque UFC London en quasi-match \u00e0 domicile. Avant l&rsquo;UFC, elle d\u00e9croche le premier titre poids mouches femmes du Cage Warriors le 24 f\u00e9vrier 2018 en battant Bryony Tyrell par TKO, le tremplin classique des combattants britanniques vers la grande ligue.<\/p>\n<h3>Le coude tournant, sa signature<\/h3>\n<p>Le KO sur Carolina n&rsquo;\u00e9tait pas un accident. Le 23 juillet 2022, toujours \u00e0 Londres, McCann remet \u00e7a contre Hannah Goldy : elle place un nouveau spinning back elbow qui sonne l&rsquo;Am\u00e9ricaine, puis encha\u00eene en frappes pour un TKO au premier round (3:52). Deux coudes tournants spectaculaires en quatre mois sur la m\u00eame sc\u00e8ne, \u00e7a ne s&rsquo;invente pas, et \u00e7a a d\u00e9finitivement coll\u00e9 l&rsquo;\u00e9tiquette de finisseuse sur \u00ab\u00a0Meatball\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n<h3>Les hauts, les bas, et une sortie en larmes<\/h3>\n<p>McCann d\u00e9bute \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC le 27 mai 2018 face \u00e0 Gillian Robertson, \u00e0 Liverpool. Sa carri\u00e8re est faite de montagnes russes plus que de r\u00e9gularit\u00e9 : des s\u00e9ries de d\u00e9faites, des rebonds spectaculaires, et un passage du poids mouches au poids pailles femmes en fin de parcours. Le 22 mars 2025, \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC London, elle affronte Alexia Thainara, rempla\u00e7ante de derni\u00e8re minute. Amen\u00e9e au sol, elle craque sur un \u00e9tranglement arri\u00e8re au premier round. Le combat fini, elle retire ses gants et annonce sa retraite, en pleurs. Paddy Pimblett, lui aussi en larmes au bord de la cage, regarde sa co\u00e9quipi\u00e8re tirer sa r\u00e9v\u00e9rence. Elle quitte le sport sur un bilan de 14 victoires pour 8 d\u00e9faites \u2014 pas une championne au sens des ceintures, mais une combattante qui a fait lever des salles enti\u00e8res et marqu\u00e9 l&rsquo;\u00e8re UFC London bien plus que son classement ne le laisse croire.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Molly_McCann\">Wikipedia<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/molly-mccann\">UFC.com<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Molly \u00ab\u00a0Meatball\u00a0\u00bb McCann, combattante anglaise de Liverpool : ses spinning back elbow KO \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC London, sa popularit\u00e9 avec Paddy Pimblett et sa retraite en 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":103010,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"fighter_category":[69981],"fighter_tag":[],"class_list":["post-104334","fighter_profile","type-fighter_profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fighter_category-womens-strawweight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
