Molly McCann reveals she drew inspiration from Mike Tyson

In the wake of her triumphant outing during her women's flyweight bout at UFC Fight Night: Volkov vs. Aspinall, Molly McCann revealed that she, along with her coaches, studied several quotes from Mike Tyson.

While in conversation with the media during the post-fight press conference, 'Meatball' admitted that she had to overcome a myriad of mental blocks to find herself in this position and could not be more pleased with the results.

"Me coach and me ran through Mike Tyson analogies and quotes like all day and all yesterday. And it's just something that as a fighter, where I have to fight the bigger people all the time, I have to take that on board with me and I've had to overcome a lot in [my mind] and I think that is off now and I know who I am."
