Molly McCann explains her pension decision
Just like Pimblett, McCann was in floods of tears during a backstage interview in UFC London.
'Meatball' admitted that she was not good enough to be in MMA's most important promotion after she had fallen to 1-4 in her last five fights.
“I'm not good enough to be there. And that's okay,” McCann told TNT Sports.
“I am not here to make up figures, I am here to win. If I don't win such a fight, I don't earn it to wear the gloves, in my opinion.
“This is the best of the best in the world. It doesn't matter what I have done in my past, and where I have taken this sport, you don't live from your earlier versions. I am not good enough now, that is the top and the bottom of it.”
