Former WWE champion and actor, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, has shouted out Molly McCann following her sensational knockout win this past Saturday.

The UFC’s fastest-growing female star, Molly McCann, almost blew the roof off the 02 on Saturday when she produced a highlight real knockout, for the second time in four months. McCann would stun her opponent, Hannah Goldy, with a right hand before she would land the critical blow, using her now signature spinning elbow.

Following the win, McCann would make a request of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson via social media, asking the former WWE champion if she could ‘borrow’ the ‘People’s Elbow.’ The People’s Elbow was one of Johnson’s signature moves during his time as a wrestler and is one of the most well-known finishing moves in wrestling.

“@TheRock” McCann said. “Excuse me Mr Rock, but can I keep borrowing the peoples elbow. It’s doing me bits.”

It wouldn’t take long for Johnson, who is a huge UFC fan, to respond to McCann, giving her permission to keep using the ‘devastating’ people’s elbow:

“From the ELECTRIFYING People’s Elbow to the DEVASTATING People’s Meatbow  Its all yours! Keep kicking ass and having FUN, champ!
Much respect, Mr Rock.”

Molly McCann’s New Found Fame

McCann is quickly becoming one of the most recognizable names in the UFC, especially on UK and European soil.

Her exciting cage performances and her lovable character paired with her friendship with Paddy Pimblett has elevated her to new heights of fame. In the space of a few months, McCann has become a legitimate star. ‘Meatball’, along with her pal Pimblett, will now go stateside and fight on massive cards, likely finding themselves on the main card of a PPV – the sky really is the limit for the Scousers.

Molly McCann, Stormzy

Molly McCann celebrated with UK rapper Stormzy after producing another sensational finish at UFC London.

Liverpool’s Molly McCann added another highlight real to her resume last night when she brutally finished Hannah Goldy in the first round.

‘Meatball’ would land a looping right hand that forced Goldy to retreat back to the cage before McCann landed her now infamous spinning elbow. McCann would then drop ‘24k’ with a flurry of punches, leaving Herb Dean no choice but to stop the contest, deciding he had seen enough.

The crowd’s reaction was absolutely raucous, reminiscent of McCann’s last fight at the O2 Arena. She immediately jumped the cage in order to celebrate, first leaping into the arms of Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, before going further into the crowd to embrace rap artist, Stormzy.

Footage has since emerged of McCann celebrating backstage with Stormzy, where she attempted to land a high crotch single leg takedown on ‘Big Mike.’

Molly McCann’s Post Fight Interview

McCann would also receive a massive pop from the crowd when handed the mic in her post-fight interview. A fighter from a working-class background, McCann used the opportunity to pay homage to those who had used their hard-earned money to come and watch her perform.

Then, to the delight of the crowd, McCann would lead a f**k the Tories chant, which would echo around the arena while she danced, soaking in the moment.

McCann has now put on two back-to-back stoppage wins, the first of which could arguably win knockout of the year.

There has never been a female fighter to capture the admiration of fans in the United Kingdom and paired with teammate Paddy Pimblett, the sky is the limit for McCann.
