A HORRIFIC eye injury may keep Molly McCann on the sidelines for several weeks but the Liverpool flyweight is still beaming from making UFC history last weekend.
In being awarded a unanimous decision over Priscila Cachoeira at the O2 Arena, McCann — nicknamed “Meatball” because of her previous employment at Subway — became the first English woman to win in the UFC.
Victory did not come without a cost, though, as McCann suffered a fractured orbital bone, three lacerations on her eye and a ripped tear duct, but having her hand raised gave her a feeling of immense satisfaction.
