Having a great moment in his career, at flyweight (up to 56,7kg) Molly McCann already has in mind who he would like to face in his next Ultimate fight. After delivering a spectacular knockout to Hannah Goldy in the UFC London, which took place last Saturday (23), the English athlete asked for a duel against Antonina Shevchenko, Valentina's older sister, champion of her category.

“I never challenge anyone, that's not something I do, but when you talk about legacy, prestige, honor, who is the best in this game? It's Valentina. Am I ready for Valentina? No. Am I ready for Antonina? We will see. I believe I am,” McCann said at a press conference after the event.
Despite the challenge to Antonina, Molly said that her desire is to face Valentina in the future, but made a point of emphasizing that she has no intention of being disrespectful to the champion.
“It's not like an insult, it's not like 'I'll take you down anywhere,' but I really think this is an amazing fight to make and I know that if they put on a camp For me, if I get to Shevchenko, they will have a plan. But I also have a plan because I will know how to beat her sister. So, with all due respect, I only said her name because I think she's the best. I'd like to tell her that I believe she's the best, so I'm trying to challenge her for that,” said the English fighter.
Signed by Ultimate in 2020, Molly had a difficult start with two straight defeats. Afterwards, the Englishwoman recovered and won three consecutive victories, the last two with spectacular knockouts, over Luana Dread and Hannah Goldy. The friend of Paddy Pimblett has a record of 13 positive results and four negative results in the sport.
