Molly McCann suffered the first defeat of a local fighter when she lost a one-sided decision to Bruna Brasil at UFC 304.
McCann fought through a tough first round and fought to the end, once again displaying his trademark toughness.
The Brazilian hurt his opponent with body kicks in the first round and then had some great success with his striking, but that looked like it might be the beginning of the end.
McCann did his best to turn the tide in the closing stages, but it wasn't enough to get on the scorecards in this qualifying bout.
