Molly McCann has reacted to her insane body transformation ahead of her fight against Bruna Brasil at UFC 304.
McCann has been training with her good friend and fellow UFC star Paddy Pimblett ahead of the event on Sunday night in Manchester.
She is set to return to the octagon for the first time since February when she beat Diana Belbita by submission, and is the heavy favourite to log her second victory in as many fights at the event.
After signing for the UFC in 2018, she debuted against Gillian Robertson on five weeks notice, losing by technical submission before going on a run of three wins as she found her feet in the promotion.
She has now reacted to her body transformation from that day to her most recent training camp, left with her head in her hands as she looked at a photo of herself six years ago.

'Wow! Oh my Lord! Show Embedded that,' Pimblett said, looking at the old photo on the latest episode of UFC Embedded, which detailed the Liverpool duo's training camp.
'That was her first fight in the UFC. Five weeks notice, she missed weight at fly.'
McCann has since shredded weight, and showed off her latest figure as she reacted to the photo in the YouTube video.
'Hard work, kids,' she laughed, with her head in her hands. 'Don't drink Guinness. Oh my God.'
Pimblett, meanwhile, is set to return to competition for the first time in 2024 next weekend when he takes on perennial lightweight stalwart Bobby 'King' Green on the main card of UFC 304.
The former Cage Warriors champion last fought in December, securing the biggest win of his career by defeating Tony Ferguson via a lopsided decision in Las Vegas.
Pimblett and McCann have been friends for a number of years and will both be on the card in Manchester this weekend
McCann and Pimblett have been good friends for a number of years, meeting while training at the start of their careers and being side by side for much of them since.
They met at Next Generation in Liverpool over a decade ago, and will once again share the UFC stage this weekend after rising to the promotion together.
McCann boasts a record of seven wins and five defeats in the UFC, while Pimblettin undefeated in five bouts.
