Molly McCann and Paddy Pimblett are MMA superstars but their Liverpool gym focuses on fighters of all abilities
MMA fighter Paddy ‘the Baddy’ Pimblett points to the marks left by three operations on his foot. He’s had another three on his hands.Pimblett and Molly ‘Meatball’ McCann, 34, are the two highest profile members of a tight-knit MMA fighting community at the renowned Liverpool gym.
“Next Generation in Liverpool has been about putting the stuff in place that we never had here," he says. Two coaches are at the centre of it all, Hampson in full body pads while Rimmer sits on the floor watching intently and absorbing every detail. McCann’s fight style is more concise, reserved and harnessed, but her confidence is undimmed. She has promised to “destroy” opponent Bruna Brasil.
It’s a defining characteristic of the gym. Despite its global UFC stars, there is no hierarchy. Everybody trains together regardless of external status.Despite five wins from five fights in the UFC, Pimblett, like McCann and Cullen, has experienced the ups and downs of life in the octagon and outside of it.
