McCann vs. Goldy Betting Analysis
Molly McCann Analysis
Molly McCann is one of the UFC’s newest stars. She was brought to the spotlight by being Paddy Pimblett’s best friend, and then UFC fans started realizing her electric style of fighting in the octagon. She always brings the intensity and has fan-favorite fights almost every time she makes the walk.
She trains with Paddy in Liverpool, and her contract with Barstool Sports has really given MMA fans the opportunity to see what she is like in her everyday life, and surprisingly she brings the same energy she does in the octagon.
How Does Hermansson Defeat Goldy?
McCann has some serious durability and a good gas tank. She has some slick boxing, but she tends to get hit once or twice and decide to turn into this wild, constantly going forward type of warrior.
This kind of style will most likely cost her a fight when she keeps moving up the division, but it always makes for great fights for the fans.
Hannah Goldy Analysis
Hannah Goldy has a tough test this weekend against McCann in front of a London crowd. She started her UFC career with an impressive win on Dana White’s Contender Series and then started off 0-2 in the UFC.
She got a big submission victory last time out, so this is a big fight for her that will really propel her into the flyweight division.
She is in very good physical shape; she will undoubtedly be prepared to go 15 minutes at a high pace and try to steal a win from McCann. Goldy only has one KO and one submission in her pro MMA career, but she also only has eight fights.
How Does Goldy Defeat McCann?
She has the opportunity to keep growing during her time in the UFC and use every fight as a learning experience.
With UFC London on the UFC schedule, Goldy had to take advantage of a big opportunity like this to fight a big name in the UK.
She will look to close the distance, I believe, against McCann and maybe even take her down. If she lets McCann throw combinations on her with no counterstrikes, it will be a tough matchup for Hannah Goldy.
McCann vs. Goldy Betting Preview
MMA odds have McCann as the biggest favorite of the UFC Fight Night: London main card. She is at -450 against the underdog, Goldy at +350. The Molly “Meatball” McCann moneyline doesn’t have much value.
According to MMA betting trends, McCann has grown over -200 since the day lines were set for this bout. She started at around -200 and now is around -450 in most sportsbooks. This is a pretty big change in a fight. It is very interesting, and you have to wonder what made oddsmakers change their mind that much.
MMA Betting
The key to MMA betting is to look at the two different styles of a matchup. Molly McCann is a really hard puncher that keeps coming forward and has a great chin. This is a tough matchup for Goldy. We will need to see how much Goldy has improved since her last appearance in the octagon.
McCann vs. Goldy Betting Prediction
Usually, the main cards have UFC odds that are pretty close. I think this fight was made special for McCann to have another chance for a great performance in front of the home crowd. Look for some fireworks in this one.
Who to Bet On?
In a video she did with Full Reptile, she talks a lot about how she is going to be patient and prove to everyone her skills are elite, and that she is on a different level than Goldy. My prediction is that ‘Meatball’ gets the job done via second-round KO.
UFC Pick: Molly McCann to win via KO (+410)
