Molly McCann’s partner Fran Parman often speaks about her time spent in Liverpool with the martial arts star. Molly has been a household name in Liverpool for many years now, and in 2017, Molly’s dedication and hard work paid off when she made her professional MMA debut.
Her performances caught the attention of the UFC and in May 2018, she became the first English woman to sign with the organisation and went on in 2019 to become the first English female fighter to win a UFC fight. Over the years, she has continued to make her mark after facing many opponents in the octagon.
In her personal life, Molly is in a relationship with The Only Way is Essex star Fran. The couple made their relationship official last year after announcing it on social media. A video shared by the reality TV star showed footage of them dancing and enjoying time in restaurants together.
In their most recent update together, Fran shared a video of Molly listening to Eric Carmen’s ‘All by Myself’, a caption said: “Because I’ve got my own life in Liverpool now. This one [Molly] can’t cope for an hour.”
Earlier this year, Fran announced a new career move on social media @Babe.FitnessStudios wrote: “We are very excited to announce that we are teaming up with the absolute best in the business to bring you Four coffee shop at BABE Chester. Presenting Four by Molly & @macrochef Managed by our gorgeous Fran who will also be front of house!”
In response to a message from a fan saying “Loving that Fran is looking like a full on Scouser”, the fitness studio replied “She’s been well and truly adopted. One of us.”
Fran also shared the message and commented “Scouser for life now”, alongside a love heart emoji and a laughing face emoji. Fran first appeared on our TV screens when she joined the TOWIE cast in 2014, for the eleventh series of the show. She was best known for her romance with fellow co-star, James Bennewith, otherwise known as Diags.

Molly has reflected on her recent success in the boxing ring as she opens up on the critics she had faced when retiring from UFC back in March after tapping out to Alexia Thainara at The O2 Arena in front of thousands of fans.
The 35-year-old won 14 of her 22 fights across a 10-year career and is one of the most successful and high-profile women’s fighters in British MMA history.
Molly will not be stepping down from fighting completely and has returned to her roots of boxing, a sport she initially competed in before MMA.
Known as “Meatball Molly”, the fighter signed a deal with Matchroom Boxing last month. She made her boxing debut on September 13 in Belfast against Kate Radomska. The fight was on the Lewis Crocker vs Paddy Donovan 2 bill.
UFC star Molly McCann won her professional boxing debut when she stopped Kate Radomska inside six rounds. McCann forced a finish in the last round of her bout against Ireland’s Radomska.
Fran shared a sweet message to her partner last year, saying: “In a world that often rushes by, it’s the beautiful connections that truly stand out.
“I don’t know where to start really but show my appreciation for you. I’ve never met someone with such beautiful qualities and everything I’ve been searching for in life.”
