Goldy tried to cover up, but referee Herb Dean wasn't convinced she was doing a good job protecting herself. The stoppage was called at the 3:52 mark of the opening round.
Earlier this year, McCann used a similar move to knock out Luana Carolina at UFC Fight Night: Volkov vs. Aspinall. Heading into the fight, 'Meatball' claimed that her knockout of Carolina "means f*** all" to her. The Scouser told MMA Fighting:
“That spinning elbow means f*** all on Saturday, doesn’t it? That’s not going to win me the fight, living off the last fight. What it has done is given me the belief, it’s given me the mental fortitude more to come into this one and know really what I’m capable of."

However, McCann may have surprised herself as she had a repeat of her previous fight. With back-to-back finishes courtesy of the move, 'Meatball' Molly can now claim the spinning back elbow as her signature maneuver.
