Just five months ago, Molly McCann was stood on the brink.
Entering the final fight of her UFC contract off the back of consecutive defeats, the gritty Liverpudlian knew it was win or bust when she travelled out to Las Vegas.
The hugely popular fan-favourite went all-in in the desert, and came away with a career-defining victory and a $50,000 Fight of the Night bonus for good measure.

'When you walk out in that O2, I'm telling you now, it's like the 12th man in a football game, I've walked out to fight a Brazilian in Brazil, I know how it feels, I know how it feels.

You get on with it because it is your job but it is not something you want.'
Now the tables have turned, with Brazil's Carolina making the trip across the Atlantic to enter the lion's den. McCann, though, believes that no matter the location, her rival - who is enjoying a two-fight winning run - will perform.
