The show, which is entitled “Paddy & Molly: Show No Mersey,” will
air on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer in the U.K., with a launch date to
be revealed soon. The title is a nod to Merseyside, which is the
hometown for both Pimblett and McCann and will be featured
prominently on the show.
According to a release, “this frank, funny and up-close series will
follow Paddy and Molly’s journey inside and outside of the cage as
they take on the biggest fights of their lives — which will
determine their legacy in the MMA world — all whilst juggling their
relationships with friends and family.”
“We can’t wait for you all to see what a day in the life for us
both entails,” said Pimblett and McCann in a joint statement. “It’s
not all sunshine and rainbows and a lot goes into what we do. You
won’t believe it until you see it so get watching!”
A former
Cage Warriors champion, Pimblett has emerged as a marketable
star in the UFC thanks in large part to his brash persona. Paddy
“The Baddy” has also enjoyed success in the Octagon, posting a 5-0
record within the Las Vegas-based promotion. Pimblett doesn’t
currently have a fight booked.
Also a Cage Warriors veteran, McCann has been in the UFC since
2018. “Meatball” enjoyed a rise to prominence during a three-bout
winning streak from September 2021 to July 2022 where she finished
two opponents via spinning back elbow. McCann is scheduled to
return to action against Diana
Belbita at
UFC Fight Night 235 on Feb. 3.
