BT Sport will premiere Meatball Molly, the latest documentary from BT Sport Films, on BT Sport 2HD on Tuesday 15 March at 10.30pm.

Meatball Molly tells the incredible story of Molly McCann, from troubled beginnings on Merseyside, to becoming the first English female fighter to win in the UFC.

The film examines the highs and lows of McCann’s career and how, after overcoming battles with mental health and long periods of self-doubt, she has risen to become one of the most exciting MMA fighters on the circuit.

The premiere will build up to BT Sport's live broadcast of UFC Fight Night: Volkov vs Aspinall, where McCann will feature on the London card, on Saturday 19 March.

Meatball Molly features interviews with close friends and relatives, taking an intimate look at McCann's life away from the Octagon and how adversity has shaped her into the athlete she's become today.

Fresh from a Fight of the Night performance in Las Vegas in September, McCann is pushing to become the first female athlete from the UK to challenge for a UFC world title.

The film features exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of some of her biggest UFC fights, including her debut loss at UFC Liverpool at the Echo Arena, fans will see what it truly takes to get to the top: this is Molly’s story.

Underestimate her at your peril.
