"Meatball Molly" McCann documentary to air on BT Sport this week - watch online and on UK TV

This weekend, "Meatball" Molly McCann is back in the octagon when she faces the Brazilian Luana Carolina at UFC Fight Night in London.

It will be the latest chapter in an incredible story of adversity that started as a young child growing up in Norris Green throughout 1990s.

McCann was raised by her aunt as a result of her father not being in the picture and her mother struggling with substance abuse.

At the age of 12, she found an outlet in the form of karate, thai boxing, and kickboxing - the first step on a journey that would go on to see her become England's first-ever female UFC winner.

Following a break that saw her explore the possibility of trying to make it as a footballer for five years, she returned to combat sport in 2013 when she started training in mixed martial arts.

In 2015, McCann made her MMA debut, fighting under the Shock N' Awe promotion in Portsmouth where she defeated Katy Horlick via TKO.

Almost exactly three years on, she worked her way up the UFC via various other promotions including XFC, Shinobi War, and Cage Warriors.

Her UFC debut, however, ended in disappointment with a loss to Gillian Robertson in front of her home crowd at the M&S Bank
