Ji Yeon Kim (9-3-2) vs Molly McCann (10-4)
Women’s Flyweight (125)
Ji Yeon Kim
A year out from her last fight, dropping a decision to Alexa Grasso, two years out from her last victory, a second-round TKO over Nadia Kassem, and three years from Kim’s last meaningful win – the Korean needs to kickstart her career. A patient counter-striker, Kim does very little to force opponents to engage. Her inactivity often leaves her falling to close decision losses despite educated counters. Her positioning in the cage keeps her safe, but Kim’s lack of volume will forever be a thorn in her side.
Molly McCann
A bit of a stinker of a match-up. Molly McCann has never been reached the quality that many fans had hoped for prior to her entry into the UFC. Granted, neither fighter has developed to an extent that excites. McCann will likely fall upon her wrestling, yet failed to utilise it against stronger grappler opponents such as Lara Procopio and Taila Santos.
Predicted Result: Kim Decision
A bit of a stinker of a match-up. A patient counter-striker, Kim does very little to force opponents to engage. Her inactivity often leaves her falling to close cut decisions despite her educated counters. McCann will likely fall upon her wrestling, yet failed to utilise it against stronger grappler opponents such as Lara Procopio and Taila Santos. An uninteresting toss-up.
