Molly McCann, renowned for her camaraderie with Paddy Pimblett, highlighted their mutual influence on each other, while Miesha Tate expressed her eagerness to see them share the stage in Manchester.
McCann and Pimblett, esteemed figures in the UK UFC scene, are closely affiliated with Liverpool’s Next Generation MMA, fostering both a professional and personal bond. Their joint appearances have garnered favorable responses from local enthusiasts.
Following her victory over Diana Belbita as UFC Vegas 85, McCann expressed her fervent desire to compete alongside Pimblett in Manchester:
“I would give anything to fight with my brother in Manchester. It’s 30 minutes’ drive from our gym. I’ll give anything to fight with him. He’s just been on Facetime. We just got all the pictures in the back room and a photo on my phone. He was on the team pic with us.”
She emphasized their symbiotic relationship:
“We bring more hate on ourselves fighting together but we just bring the best out of each other. It’s great that we both had our moments individually. He got his moment against Tony [Ferguson] and I’ve had my moment against Diane. We just proved that the next-gen sauce is real.”
