Here's the fight video of Alexia Thainara vs Molly McCann from last night's UFC show in London, England. This fight is at Strawweight. Istela Nunes was supposed to be Molly's opponent. But she had visa problems and Alexia was brought in on a week's notice. Istela will fight in a couple of weeks. Alexia is 27 years old from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She trains at Academia Ribas Family in Varginha, Minas Gerais, Brazil so Amanda Ribas is her teammate. She won a DWCS fight in September. This is her UFC debut. She has charisma too. She trains at a great camp so I like her chances. Molly is 34 years old from Liverpool, England. She trains at Next Generation MMA. Her UFC record is 7-6. She's a fan favorite in England. But I have never liked her much. If she was really good, her record would be better. But she tends to underperform when she's not fighting at home. And Alexia was looking to make a good first impression in the UFC. By the middle of round one, Alexia took Molly down and eventually finished her with a rear naked choke at 4:32 of round one. Alexia got a $50,000 bonus. So that's an excellent UFC debut. Afterwards, Molly announced her retirement. She might have been released anyway. But I think she decided that she would retire if she lost the fight. Enjoy the video!
