UFC London: Julija Stoliarenko silences crowd with quick submission of Molly McCann (Video)
The UFC London crowd was left with heartbreak and utter disappointment in the co-main event, as Julija Stoliarenko was able to nab a first-round finish of fan-favorite Molly McCann.
This was a needed win for Stoliarenko, who entered this fight with four losses in her last five fights. Meanwhile, McCann has now dropped two straight after a three-fight win streak between 2021 and 2022.

Stoliarenko came right out on the front foot from the opening seconds, looking to bring the pressure to McCann and control the fight right away. Stoliarenko did a decent job avoiding McCann's power and working her jab before scoring a takedown 90 seconds into the first round.
McCann looked to reverse and get on top, but Stoliarenko had her legs around McCann's arms and got the extension, forcing a tapout in less than two minutes and apparently breaking McCann's arm.
dark. Next. When is Conor McGregor's next fight?
