Molly McCann will once again fight in her home country, as the UFC has announced her next bout. McCann is set to face Bruna Brasil in a strawweight contest at UFC 304, which will take place on July 27 at the new Co-Op Live in Manchester, England. The matchup was first reported by Ag. The fight has since generated excitement among fans.
McCann, nicknamed “Meatball,” made a significant move down from flyweight to the 115-pound division after consecutive first-round stoppage losses to Erin Blanchfield and Julija Stoliarenko. Her first appearance in the strawweight division came at UFC Vegas 85 in February 2024, where she delivered a career-best performance. McCann secured a stunning submission victory over Diana Belbita via armbar with just one second left in the opening round.
Bruna Brasil, a Contender Series veteran, will make her fourth walk to the octagon at UFC 304. Known as “The Special One,” Brasil aims to bounce back from a decision loss against Loma Lookboonmee at UFC Vegas 86 in February. Currently holding a 1-2 record in the UFC, her sole victory came via unanimous decision against Shauna Bannon at UFC London this past July.
In addition to McCann’s return, the UFC announced a featherweight matchup between the U.K.’s Nathaniel Wood and the always-dangerous Daniel Pineda. This bout promises to add even more excitement to an already stacked card.
UFC 304 will be headlined by a welterweight championship bout featuring a rematch between Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad. This highly anticipated fight will see the two competitors face off for the second time, with fans eagerly awaiting the outcome. The co-main event will showcase Tom Aspinall defending his interim heavyweight championship against Curtis Blaydes, adding another layer of intensity to the evening.
With a lineup featuring championship bouts and fan-favorite fighters, UFC 304 is shaping up to be a memorable event. The anticipation is building as fight night approaches, promising thrilling action and unforgettable moments.
