McMann ‘chomping at the bit’ to fight Rousey again
Sara McMann: “I don’t even care if she loses a title fight, I will fight her. I don’t care if she’s suddenly ranked 20th, I will fight [Ronda Rousey].”
Former olympic wrestling silver medalist Sara McMann was supposed to be Ronda Rousey’s toughest opponent to date when the two squared off at UFC 170.
Rousey finished McMann at 1:06 of the first round, her first loss in her eight fight pro career. McMann however would like the opportunity to get that fight again, regardless of whether or not it’s for Rousey’s bantamweight title:
“I’m chomping at the bit to fight her again,” McMann told FOX Sports. “I don’t even care if she loses a title fight, I will fight her. I don’t care if she’s suddenly ranked 20th, I will fight her.”
“Yes, obviously she has holes,” McMann said of the champ. “She definitely has things that can be exploited. I was doing better in the first few minutes than she was striking wise.”
McMann believes Rousey-McMann II would be marketable for the UFC, “considering how many people felt like it didn’t go the way it should have.”
“Sometimes you just get caught,” McMann said. “It doesn’t mean that a fighter is better than you.”
