Liverpool based UFC flyweight Molly McCann is 10-2 inside the Octagon. She is a standout UFC flyweight riding on a three-fight winning streak. However, the most important fight of her career took place outside of the Octagon.
Prior to becoming an MMA fighter, McCann worked late nights at a Subway Sandwich shop. On an early morning, while she was working late shifts, a man followed a drunk blonde woman to the shop and started taking money out of her purse pretending to be a policeman.
Speaking on the A-side live chat McCann revealed how she handled the whole situation.
“This blonde girl’s come in, five in the morning, rotten drunk, stumbling over and then this lad followed her in. … And he’s come in and he’s put his arm around her and I went to him, ‘Hey mate, what’s her name?’ He went, ‘What?’ I went, ‘What’s her name,’ because I just didn’t think he knew her. Something in me belly was like, ‘Nah, this is not… no.’ And he’s like, ‘F*ckin’ shut up, love.’ Could you imagine my face, sayin’ that?
“So then she opens her purse and he’s trying to get the money out the purse and I went, ‘‘Ey, mate, what the f*ck?’ And he went, ‘I’m the police. Who are you talkin’ to?’ I said, ‘You’re not the f*ckin’ police.’ ” McCann said.

The man later called for support and was joined by a few other men. However, that didn’t deter the 22-year old McCann from confronting those men.
Later when the police arrived, it was revealed that the man involved was a sex trafficker.
“He’s gone to kick me in the head, I’ve leg kicked him, the police have come and took him, I’ve had to go make a statement,” McCann said. “It turns out that he was a sex trafficker and he was trying to take her. They’d watched the cameras and they’d date raped her. They put date rape [drug] in her drink to take her, to steal her, and she would have never been seen again.
“And I was like this [to the police], ‘All in a day’s work, guys!’ ” (H/T – MMAFighting.com)
