This is actually a good matchup.

Molly gonna have to get on the inside and hit some takedowns or she's gonna get battered with kicks and faster, longer punches.

Well, UFC needs Molly to win for the show in her home town, so they feed her with Bruna. Molly wins by KO/Sub in the first

As a scouser I would love to see this happen to molly

Should be either a pretty good striking match or a pretty bad grappling match.

UFC are being quite nice to McCann. It's quite apparent that Dana has a soft sport for Molly. (he has made comments in past interviews etc).
McCann has lost 2 of her last 3 fights, specifically 2 losses by submission.
Brasil has also lost 2 of her last 3 fights.

But the key thing here is Brasil, by her fight record, is not a submission merchant.
So I conclude that UFC consider that Brasil is not much of a sub threat to McCann and they do want a McCann victory so....yup.... I'll say McCann by TKO/KO in rd1 or 2.

Brasil doesn't really impress me. She's a tall, lanky kickboxer which can be hard for some girls to deal with but her wins aren't that great. I think Molly -- for as much of a mediocre gatekeeper as she is -- manages to pressure her early, crowd the kicks, and force the boxing & wrestling exchanges.
