UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Volkov show to put her back on track.
Before her UFC career, though, McCann evolved as a mixed martial artist with Europe’s Shock ‘n’ Awe and Cage Warriors organizations. After winning the Shock ‘n’ Awe flyweight title and defending it once, McCann took her 4-1 record to Cage Warriors, where she debuted against Lacey Schuckman.
Schuckman was the more experienced fighter, but she spent most of the first two rounds with her back against the fence while McCann controlled the range with her striking and landed combinations. In a turn of events, Schuckman was able to take down McCann with a double leg. She was unable to progress past McCann’s half guard, though. McCann was happy to wait out the round. In the final frame, McCann struggled on the ground again and even allowed Schuckman to easily pass to mount. However, as soon as the fight went back to the feet, McCann was clearly in her element again. The Brit landed multiple clean strikes on her opponent in the final minute to secure the unanimous decision.
