Julija Stoliarenko submits Molly McCann with nasty first round armbar at UFC London

Lithuanian grappler, Julija Stoliarenko has silenced the crowd at The O2 Arena in London, submitting flyweight veteran, Molly McCann with an opening round armbar in the co-main event of tonight’s UFC Fight Night London card.
