"Meatball" is set to clash with Bruna Brasil in a strawweight bout during the preliminary card of the event. This fight marks her second appearance in the division, following a triumphant return with a first-round submission victory over Diana Belbiță in February. She made the move down to 115 pounds after enduring back-to-back losses at 125 pounds.
Meanwhile, "The Baddy" is set to square off against Green on the main card of UFC 304. Pimblett is riding high after a commanding unanimous decision victory over lightweight veteran Tony Ferguson at UFC 296 last December, extending his impressive win streak in the Octagon to five consecutive fights.
Coming from the same hometown of Liverpool, McCann and Pimblett have not only forged a strong bond but also train together at the Next Generation MMA Gym. Naturally, McCann is fully backing her fellow Liverpudlian, confident that Pimblett will overpower Green in their upcoming clash...
McCann Foresees Pimblett Silencing Critics At UFC 304
During a recent interview with Kaz Crossley for Title Sports Network, McCann shared her thoughts on Pimblett's upcoming clash with Green. She confidently predicted that "The Baddy" will secure a first-round finish, propelling him closer to a coveted title shot.
I think he gets to silence the critics again," McCann said. "I think he's going to finish Bobby in the first round. I think he's a bit like [Conor] McGregor in terms of not being scared to speak his truth and manifest.
McCann and Pimblett have shared the Octagon on the same night twice before, both going undefeated with remarkable performances at The O2 arena in London during UFC Fight Night events in 2022.
