McCann saw her three-fight win streak come to an end last November when she got submitted by Erin Blanchfield in the first round of their bout during UFC 281: Adesanya vs. Pereira. Before that, she had consecutive knockout wins over Luana Carolina at UFC Fight Night: Volkov vs. Aspinall and Hannah Goldy at UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Aspinall.
If anything, McCann has not lost a fight during UFC Fight Night events with Tom Aspinall as part of the headliner, so she’s definitely hoping the trend continues this coming weekend. As for more tangible aspects of her chances to win against Stoliarenko, McCann has power, with six knockout wins to her name. McCann also has a 50 percent striking accuracy in the UFC to go with a 35 percent takedown rate.

Stoliarenko’s experience in the UFC hasn’t been all that sweet. She is only 1-4 through five fights under the biggest MMA promotion in the world. Coming off a knockout loss at the hands of Chelsea Chandler last October during the UFC Fight Night: Dern vs. Yan, Stoliarenko needs a win to strengthen her foothold in the UFC.
Notwithstanding her recent losses in the UFC, the 30-year-old out of Team Fighter House is always a danger to pull off a submission win. She has nine wins via submissions, eight by successfully using the armbar. Before entering her first fight in the UFC back in 2020, Stoliarenko had a five-fight win streak, which included four submission wins via armbar. That doesn’t sound too good for McCann, who has a 0-2 submission record.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Molly McCann vs Julija Stoliarenko
McCann isn’t going to take much of her chances prolonging this fight and leaving the door open for a Stoliarenko armbar. She defeats the Lithuanian via KO in the first round.
Prediction:
McCann wins via knockout.
