'Meatball' goes back to the building where she produced an iconic moment in the Achthoek.
Molly McCann from Liverpool is back in London this Saturday, alongside another top talent from the UK.
With Leon Edwards, who will find the map against Sean Brady Headliner, Vechtfans will hope that March 22 in particular can make one event come true.
The UFC Vegas 104 last weekend contained a few stunning knockouts of female hunters, but even they could not surpass what happened on March 19 in 2022.
With her first finish in the UFC, McCann supplied one of the best knockouts in the history of Women's MMA while blewing the roof of the O2arena.

Molly McCann beat Luana Carolina cold with a rotating elbow
After bouncing back from successive losses with a fight of the night's win on Ji Yeon Kim in Las Vegas, Molly McCann returned to England looking for a momentum.
She stood opposite Luana Carolina in Brazil, who had recorded back-to-back victories over Poliana Botelho and Lupita Godinez before making the journey to London.
McCann was able to take the first two rounds on all three score cards, with one judge even a 10-8 in the first allocation.
As usual, her output was her biggest weapon when she released Carolina in both rounds and landed out, along with securing 2 of 2 Takedowns with 4:30 of control time.
Everything that McCann did before the third round stopped to be remembered after what she did to finish the fight.
'Meatball' landed a huge rotating elbow in the third that her opponent immediately beat cold and the scouser earned a bonus.
In a chaotic post-fighter celebration, McCann parade around the outside of the Octagon and spoke with Dana White before he got back into the Octagon with a UFC title that she held above her head.
Although many fans were critical about this gesture of the Brit, no one could deny that they had just witnessed an iconic knockout.
It is remarkable that in her next fight, McCann again landed a devastating rotating elbow before he followed with strikes to finish Hannah Goldy in the first round.
Molly McCann stands for a new test on March 22
Just over a week from Fight Night, Molly McCann lost her original opponent for her return to London on March 22.
The Brazilian Istela Nunes, who has lost all four of her fights in the Octagon, withdrew instead of her fellow Brazilian, Alexia Thainara.
The 27-year-old Thaurara will make her UFC debut against McCann after she earned her place on the Roster through the season of Dana White's Contender Series.
With six wins by submitting her record, she can look to test the ground game of 'meatball' that has been her weakness in the past, even if she has made improvements in this area.
