Molly
McCann is headed to the strawweight division for a rematch
against Diana
Belbita at an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on Feb.
3.
The Las Vegas-based promotion announced the booking on Wednesday.
UFC Fight Night takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is
headlined by a middleweight duel between Roman
Dolidze and Nassourdine
Imavov.
McCann and Belbita initially squared off in a 125-pound contest at
UFC on ESPN 6, where “Meatball” captured a unanimous decision
triumph in October 2019. The 33-year-old Liverpool, England, native
is 6-5 in the Octagon and is coming off back-to-back losses against
Erin
Blanchfield and Julija
Stoliarenko.
Belbita dropped to strawweight after losing her first two UFC
appearances at 125 pounds. She has since gone 2-2 in the promotion,
including a unanimous decision loss to Karolina
Kowalkiewicz in her most recent outing at UFC Fight Night 229
on Oct. 7.
