Built for Growth by Miesha Tate Molly McCann-Pearson | Triumph Through Adversities #45
This episode features Molly “Meatball” McCann — former UFC fighter, Cage Warriors champion, and proud advocate for mental health and underrepresented voices in sport. Known for her relentless fighting style and highlight-reel knockouts, Molly’s journey from Liverpool to the bright lights of the UFC is as raw and real as it gets.
In a sport historically dominated by men, Molly opens up about the challenges she’s faced — not just in the cage, but in the broader fight for visibility, respect, and equal footing. From dealing with bias to staying strong under public pressure, she talks about the mental strength it takes to keep going at the highest level.
