A lot of fans hated Conor McGregor. Many hate Ilia Topuria, Jon Jones, and some despised Ronda Rousey. However, they made you care about their fights, one way or another.
By mid-afternoon on March 26, Thainara had already seen her IG followers grow by more than 35,000, compared to 33,000 for Brady.
McCann is a legend and women’s MMA pioneer in the UK, and she was fighting in front of a crowd cheering her on. No matter to Thainara—she came to the Octagon with one of the most exaggerated, prolonged entrances ever.
A third commenter said, “She can get knocked tf out after that walk.”
If Henry Cejudo is the King of Cringe, Alexia Thainara might be the Queen. That said, her antics heading to the Octagon and immediately following her impressive first-round submission win over Molly McCann were one of the biggest stories from UFC London.
Welp, none of that happened. Thainara masterfully dismantled McCann, submitting her with a rear-naked choke in the first round, improving her pro MMA record to 12-1. Thainara’s only loss is a 2019 submission defeat to Bruna Brasil before both entered the UFC.
