Molly McCann is 13-6 overall, with two of those six losses happening in her last two fights. In both of those, she lost by submission. The opponents who beat her are Erin Blanchfield and Julija Stoliarenko, both of whom have black belts in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Luckily for Molly, her next opponent isn’t great when it comes to grappling. Diana Belbita (15-8) has a background in judo, but she’s not great on the floor. The evidence of this is that each time she got finished (four times), she was finished by submission.
She’s never suffered a KO loss, but she did lose another four fights by decision after losing the striking battle to her opponent. One of the fighters who beat her this way is no other than Molly McCann.
