Since WMMA is on the forefront these days... look into your crystal octagon... Olympic Gold Medalist Kayla Harrison versus BJJ black belt and world champ Gabby Garcia. Kayla's got some looks, Gabby's a freak show, they both are world class, and they would bring some intrigue and media juice. 
What it gonna be one? Two years away?

Sarah McMahan is the future.

I'd bet about a billion dollars that Sara McMahan never wins a woman's belt ever.

Nah, Sarah McMann isn't taking to MMA like she would need to. She's struggling.  If she were a natural she'd be kicking people's asses on the cards she's fighting on.  It's not happening.

Guys, I was obviously (I thought obviously anyway) taking a shot at Wolf not knowing how to spell her name.

But I do agree with you as well Greg. Although I think SHayna is pretty good.

Thanks for bringing us back, Gregory. Hahah.
Really? No Gabby Garcia, huh? Maybe I'm too in on BJJ at the moment. She's a BIG Brazilian girl. Has won International Submission Grappling Championships in Abu Dhabi and virtually unstoppable at the World BJJ championships. She trains with Marcelo Garcia in NY (please tell me you know who he is ;) ) I'm not even sure if she has MMA aspirations - and it seems that there's really only about one and a half women's divisions anyway - way under what she walks around at. 
The McMann call was a nice one because I didn't know about her before the discussion here.

McMann will never be the best at 135...I had Baszler beating her. I don't think either of these two mentioned at the start of the thread will ever transition to MMA though.

I doubt Harrison transitions to MMA unless the heavier weights start gaining prominence, not a chance in hell that she makes 145. She is built like a brick ****house
