Ahead of her return to the O2 Arena to face Hannah Goldy at UFC London, MMA star Molly McCann has chatted about Paddy Pimblett, Conor McGregor and Everton.

We try to be honest, we try to tell the truth and be funny. "I was with Dele Alli, Seamus Coleman, Frank Lampard — I got to them all. "It’s a bit of a mad one. I’m really finding my feet in the UFC and I just want to find consistency. "It has just been really important to keep my feet on the floor," she says. I’ve tried to be more of a role model — to drink less and do more for my community. I don’t feel like I’m touching my potential yet." Just because I can go out and more people know my name, it doesn’t change me as a person. "Liverpool’s got a really good way of keeping you humble. "The internet blew up off that elbow," McCann reflects ahead of her flyweight fight with American Hannah Goldy, when she will return to the O2 for a second successive scrap. Pressure creates diamonds and I’m ready to keep creating. "From that last fight, my life completely changed, in terms of sponsorship.

Mookie Alexander: I feel like Aspinall either wins this early or gets worked over as the fight progresses. Blaydes is a terrific wrestler and if he can ...

Zane Simon: Volkan Oezdemir just does not have to have the kind of fight Paul Craig wins. Add in Curtis’ work to the body and greater power in his strikes and I think that even with the short notice, the Action Man will get it done. Mookie Alexander: Leavitt’s a pretty good grappler and that alone could make this a fun fight on the mat. Zane Simon: A base level, gut reaction to this fight just has me wanting to pick Hermansson. He’s had more of a camp for the fight, he’s tough as nails, he can push a pace I’ve never seen Curtis forced to maintain, and at some point Curtis’ 5’ 10” frame has to become a factor against lanky and/or grinding MWs (of which Hermansson is both). But the specifics of this fight aren’t nearly so convincing for the Swedish-born Norwegian. He’s always struggled with southpaws, he lacks the dominating strength to be a truly overpowering wrestler against the elite, and even when he’s done well in a high paced striking match, those haven’t been fights he’s then gone on to win. Blaydes has spent a lot of time over the years improving his boxing, to the point that he was pretty clearly out-working Derrick Lewis on the feet, and ultimately breezed by Chris Daukaus. But Aspinall is a bit of a different animal. Mookie Alexander: I just don’t think Gustafsson is at his physical peak and each of his last three losses have just been so disheartening for how non-competitive they were. There’s also the realization that Hermansson should be a better takedown threat than Rodolfo Vieira and he has a good workrate. And I’ll admit, I’m a little more drawn by that second question (even though it has a much lower chance of being a factor) than I am the first. On the feet, Blaydes is a markedly improved offensive striker who can pack a punch, but he will be at a speed disadvantage and Aspinall is much more varied and generally better than Chris Daukaus. It’ll be interesting to see how Aspinall deals with Blaydes’ wrestling threat and how that could impact his striking. Blaydes is a terrific wrestler and if he can establish that successfully then I don’t know if Aspinall has the ability to escape both bottom position and the heavy ground-and-pound that usually comes after a Blaydes takedown and solid top control. I’m not confident in this pick whatsoever, but I feel like my doubts of Aspinall were very much reduced after the Volkov win and he might just have that special quality in him to hurt and stop Blaydes early. For example, if Zane Simon entered all of his predictions on Wednesday without adding in any explanations, he has no idea if he’s going to be the only one siding with one fighter for any given fight.

For Molly McCann, who fights Hannah Goldy at UFC London, every time she steps into an arena she goes in like it's her debut.

But what it has done is given me the belief and it’s given me the mental fortitude to come into this one and know really what I’m capable of. “I can just stick-and-move and just have a good go.” McCann enters this fight off back-to-back wins and five victories in her last seven fights.

The UFC middleweight was expected to compete at UFC London before he withdrew due to injury.

Till made the right decision in respecting Jack. I am definitely OK with it. “I also look forward to hearing what all the couch potato’s [sic] have to comment below this post,” wrote Till. “I’ll be reading and laughing. The No. 9 contender also addressed his issues with recurring injuries in recent years. I also wish Jack the best of luck, may both men have a good fight.” The UFC middleweight was scheduled to fight Jack Hermansson in his much-anticipated return to the Octagon but withdrew after suffering an injury in training. “I don’t have Sean [Strickland] in my corner,” said Curtis on The MMA Hour. “I get along great with Darren. He brings that same kind of energy, so why not?

Let's meet LFA's Flyweight kingpin, Charles Johnson, who makes his short notice Octagon debut against Muhammad Mokaev at UFC London on Sat., July 23, 2022.

Looking forward to seeing whether he can recreate “King’s” Octagon success. As seen by his recent success, the pros definitely outweigh the cons, especially since he’s got a solid wrestling game to back it up. He had some bizarre stretches against Horiuchi wherein he simply stood there and tried to block combinations with his back against the fence, and Mota likewise did good work with body shots in those situations. His killer instinct is worth a mention as well. He’s a switch-hitting, hands-low slickster, firing off lead low and body kicks while looking for opportunities to land jabs, crosses and left hooks. On this edition of “New Blood,” the series where UFC’s aborted plan to dissolve the Flyweight division grows more moronic by the day, we check out an entertaining LFA champion last seen in an absolute slugfest.

Paddy Pimblett had the last laugh before his fight with Jordan Leavitt at the UFC London staredowns on Friday.

Happy to be in another main event and happy to put on a show tomorrow night.” “These fans can expect an exciting heavyweight matchup between me and Curtis,” Aspinall said. Pimblett wasn’t the only fan favorite to put on a show during face-offs.

Check out the analysis and picks from our UFC crew for Molly McCann vs. Hannah Goldy and two other UFC London bouts on Saturday afternoon.

All of those are reasons to like “under 2.5 rounds” in this fight, which I expected to be far more juiced than the current odds. He can quickly get this fight to the mat, where Gustafsson has floundered in past bouts. I’m keeping my initial bet to half a unit for that reason, with a potential add-on to make up the rest. However, he’s reliable in getting takedowns and securing dominant positions in his matchups, particularly in the first round. Amirkhani is the clear betting side from a pre-fight perspective. Additionally, McCann had been outstruck in both Rounds 2 and 3 in her previous fight before ending it with the elbow. It’s close to a tossup on the feet, with Goldy having slightly better numbers albeit against weaker competition. Moreover, Pearce constantly leaves his neck exposed while wrestling, which could cost him dearly against a front choke specialist. She also won her last fight by submission, so she has a chance to turn McCann’s takedowns against her. I’ve debated this one throughout the week, but the line has moved enough that it’s too good of an opportunity to pass up. If we’re flipping coins, I want the side that pays out more. McCann won her last fight via spinning back elbow knockout, but that’s a fairly fluky occurrence that I’m not putting too much weight in.

Can English stars Tom Aspinall, Paddy Pimblett, and Molly McCann put on a show again at UFC London?

Oezdemir has great technique and has only lost to the best in the division. The Scotsman simply has no quit in him and he’ll eventually find an opening to bring Oezdemir into his world. Look for Oezdemir to land hard shots on the feet and force Craig into fight-or-flight mode, where he excels. It’s long overdue that I started giving Craig the benefit of the doubt, so while I fully expect him to get dinged up by Oezdemir, I also have faith that he’ll be able to pull off one of his trademark come-from-behind finishes. I’m going Blaydes by decision, only because I don’t see Aspinall finishing him and Blaydes has an unblemished record when going to the scorecards. Paul Craig is the master of recovering from a bad start. On the other side, Blaydes has to avoid slipping on the proverbial banana peel that felled him in pivotal matchups against Ngannou and Derrick Lewis. Again, I understand, the Teixeira fight was a long time ago, but it’s easy to rationalize Gustafsson’s slump: Aspinall is a high-level grappler, but we’ve yet to see if he can deal with the elite top pressure that Blaydes brings to all of his fights. The biggest factor in my eyes is that I need to see how Aspinall fares on the defensive. On paper, it’s easy to see why Blaydes is willing to put his number on the line against one of the division’s fastest-rising fighters. Leavitt uses his range well, picking his opponents apart with straight punches and kicks, and has a tricky ground game that he utilizes once it comes down to close quarters combat.

UFC star Paddy Pimblett has revealed that he consumed nearly 11,000 calories after his last win against Rodrigo Vargas back in March.

“People have doubted me for years. I love desserts.” And desserts.

Tomorrow on the main card of UFC London, one of the more popular prospects in the promotion will be making the walk for the third time...

However, in reality, he’s a tremendous ground fighter who has some solid skills on the feet. Paddy Pimblett is quickly blossoming into one of the biggest stars in the promotion. England’s Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett (18-3) will be making his third appearance as he takes on Jordan Leavitt (10-1).

It's a huge night in UFC on Saturday, with the O2 Arena hosting the eagerly-anticipated UFC London – Will Dean has three bets to consider in his preview.

Given both men’s penchant for early finishes, and their vulnerability to the other’s skillset, a play on the Fight to end in Round 1 is certainly enticing at 7/4. Unfortunately for the American, Pimblett himself is a high-level grappler and should be able to neutralise any threats on the mat. In fact, of their combined 44 fights, Oezdemir and Craig have seen stoppage in the first round on 25 occasions. Despite not featuring at the top of the billing, PADDY PIMBLETT really is the superstar to watch at UFC London. The Liverpudlian stole the show in March, with yet another first round victory after facing some early adversity. With the patriotic crowd in his corner, I think Aspinall can rise to the occasion on Saturday night. If Aspinall ventures into the unknown and this fight reaches round three, then it is fair to assume his chances of winning will be significantly reduced.

Paddy Pimblett's weight cut is so incredible that it's even caught the attention of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight contender Paulo Costa.

- UFC 276 Event T-Shirt Master of weight.” - UFC 276 Metallic Gold Logo T-Shirt Costa has had recent trouble making the 185-pound mark and felt compelled to pay his respect. Pimblett showcased his incredible weight-cutting skills yet again during official weigh-ins for UFC London on Friday. The 27-year-old stepped on the scale without issue and made his main card fight with Jordan Leavitt official. It is well known by now that Pimblett balloons up to a considerable weight during his off time.

For two years, Tom Aspinall has been making light work of the UFC's heavyweight division. On Saturday, Aspinall will be looking for the biggest win of his ...

No one but Lewis has been able to actually shut Blaydes' lights out so a clean knockout seems unlikely for Aspinall. But the more Blaydes is forced into looking to wrestling first, the more he may be able to tilt the fight in his direction. Blaydes understands how to go the distance, even in a five-round fight such as this. But he has not been forced to fight from underneath someone with a top game as good as Blaydes. Blaydes has five decision wins in his career while Aspinall has never even seen the third round of a fight. "I definitely think people underestimate my athleticism, even to this day," Blaydes said in an interview with Yahoo Sports. "I don't think a lot of people appreciate how athletic you have to be to get takedowns. While Aspinall has solid wrestling, Blaydes is a bit better than him in that department.
