UFC star Molly McCann earned her debut victory in the professional ring when she defeated Kate Radomska over six rounds.

Fighting on the undercard of the IBF welterweight title fight between Paddy Donovan and Lewis Crocker at Windsor Park in Belfast, McCann scored a last-round finish to beat Irishwoman Radomska.

In a nod to McCann's MMA past, Radomska actually kicked the Liverpudlian as she parried punches near the ropes.

She landed more powerful punches in the final round until Radomska's corner threw in the towel with just over half a minute left in the fight.

In the main event, Lewis Crocker defeated Paddy Donovan to win the vacant IBF welterweight title.

In a rematch of a March fight that Crocker won via controversial disqualification, the Belfast native knocked Donovan down twice.

However, the fight was still even, and Crocker defeated Donovan by split decision to become world champion.

“I thought I picked my shots well, threw the bigger ones. I knocked him down and caught him when I wanted to. I thought I had a great fight,” he told DAZN after the fight.

“Everyone thought I would be stopped, but today I wasn't the one in trouble.”
