Liverpool’s Molly ‘Meatball’ McCann set for stern test at Cage Warriors 88

Proud Evertonian and Cage Warriors flyweight prospect, Molly ‘Meatball’ McCann faces experienced Brazilian, Prisclla de Souza in a fascinating clash at Echo Arena Liverpool on 28 October.

Local girl McCann is sure to be backed by a raucous crowd in her home town as she looks to follow up on her crowd-pleasing decision win over Lacey Schuckman in her last contest. McCann has a record of five wins, one loss and is currently riding a four fight win streak.

McCann joins fellow Liverpudlians Chris Fishgold and Lee Chadwick on the main card, with both men looking to leave Echo Arena Liverpool with Cage Warriors world championship gold around their respective waists.

Cage Warriors President Graham Boylan said: “This is looking to be the biggest card of the year and no city supports their own more passionately than the city of Liverpool.

Molly is one of the toughest women on the planet and we’re looking forward to seeing her test herself against a truly dangerous opponent.

It’s shaping up to be another exciting night, showcasing the very best of Liverpool’s fighting talent.”

Sadly, former Cage Warriors featherweight champion Paddy Pimblett has been forced off the card for this event after sustaining a concussion.

More bouts have been added to the undercard, however, including a lightweight bout between Adam Ventre and Mahmood Faour.

With two world title fights and a stacked card of exciting matchups, Cage Warriors 88 promises to bring another spectacular night of martial arts action to Echo Arena Liverpool on 28 October.

Our Matt caught up with Molly ahead of Cage Warriors 88, and even asked how she got her famous nickname.
