UFC duo Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann to star in reality series on BBC Three

Pimblett and McCann are close friends and team-mates at Next Generation MMA Gym in Liverpool

Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann will star in a reality series set to air on BBC Three and iPlayer this summer.

The series, called Paddy & Molly: Show No Mersey, will give a unique insight into the lives of two of the UK's biggest MMA stars.

The show will follow the duo in their professional efforts in the UFC and their personal lives in Liverpool.

"We can't wait for you all to see what a day in the life for us both entails," said Pimblett and McCann.

"It's not all sunshine and rainbows and a lot goes into what we do. You won't believe it until you see it, so get watching."

As well as tagging along for their UFC careers, the show introduces the pair's families, including Pimblett's wife Laura, who is pregnant with twins, and McCann's fiance Ellis.

Pimblett, 29, made a winning return to action following a year out with injury at UFC 296 last month, beating fellow lightweight Tony Ferguson by unanimous decision.

McCann, 33, meanwhile, is hoping to recover from two successive defeats as she makes her strawweight debut against Diana Belbita on 3 February.

Pimblett has won all five of his fights since debuting in the UFC in 2021, while McCann, who joined the promotion in 2018, has been victorious in six of her 11 bouts.
