Female UFC Fighter Recalls Fighting Off Sex Trafficker During Shift at Subway

UFC flyweight Molly McCann recalls the time when she fought a sex offender.

Molly McCann is the former Cage Warriors Fighting Championship’s flyweight champion. She signed with the UFC back in 2018 and has fought four times since. Currently, she is on a 3 fight win streak.

Before becoming a part of the UFC roster, McCann worked a late shift at a Subway sandwich shop. On an episode of ‘The A-Side’ live chat, McCann recounted an old incident where she saved a woman from a sex trafficker.

“This blonde girl’s come in, five in the morning, rotten drunk, stumbling over and then this lad followed her in. … And he’s come in and he’s put his arm around her and I went to him, ‘Hey mate, what’s her name?’ He went, ‘What?’ I went, ‘What’s her name,’ because I just didn’t think he knew her. Something in me belly was like, ‘Nah, this is not… no.’ And he’s like, ‘F*ckin’ shut up love.’ Could you imagine my face, sayin’ that?” McCann said.

“So then she opens her purse and he’s trying to get the money out the purse and I went, ‘‘Ey, mate, what the f*ck?’ And he went, ‘I’m the police. Who are you talkin’ to?’ I said, ‘You’re not the f*ckin’ police.”

McCann then followed the man outside the shop. Apparently, he called up his accomplices to help him out. However, McCann’s problems didn’t end there. The man tried to kick her in the head. But she countered it with a leg kick.

The cops arrived shortly after and arrested the man. It was later revealed that he was a sex trafficker.
“It turns out that he was a sex trafficker and he was trying to take her. They’d watched the cameras and they’d date-rape her. They put date rape [drug] in her drink to take her, to steal her, and she would have never been seen again.”

Upon visiting the police station, McCann found out that the man was an illegal immigrant who was later sent back home. At the time of the incident, McCann was just 22 years old.
