Please let this happen. I know it's not going to produce a number one contender, but I really believe this division needs marque match ups like this. Let me know what you guys think.

McMann definitely has the potential for a better showing against Rousey than what happened the first time.  If she looked really good in some high profile fights I'd be interested in a Rousey rematch.

^^^ Agreed. Rousey won fair and square, but I feel the MMA gods took away a decent scrap from us with that body shot.

This is a neat fight, but McMann has never really impressed me

have to agree with lopati here. i had high hopes when i first heard of McMann coming to the UFC. i'd heard great things about her. but i haven't been very impressed since she got here. Rousey is just on another level and will be for quite some time. even if McMann got her down shes bound to get swept or submitted.

If McMann can beat Tate convincingly maybe they could sell a rematch. But right now, Sarah McMann isn't much of a draw, and it will be hard to sell a Rousey/McMann 2 to the casual fan if they know that she tko'd her in barely over a minute.

I think they'd have an easier time selling Rousey/Tate 3.

I'd feel stunned if she could do this to Miesha and probably will

She doesn't offer Meisha anything, I see a finish in the second or third round.

High level olympic wrestling = nothing to offer Miesha who was taken down 3 times by Rin Nakai, 5 times by Liz Carmouche, and 6 times by Ronda Rousey. This fight is a cupcake walk for McMann.

What signature wins does McMann have?

Not a single ******* one!

DelRose aren't you the same guy who said Bethe Correia had never fought anyone and that Baszler would beat her? Lul.

I also think that at this stage of their careers Sara's striking is WAY better than Miesha's. I think this is a walk in the park for Sara.

Not based on past wins, how each of them did against Rousey or  "but Olympic level wrasslin' BROOOO", based solely on my analysis of both their skillsets, mental capacities and how their styles clash.

Miesha's striking is awful! Sara is starting to look crisper and crisper from fight to fight and I think she's already much better at it and more importantly faster and more explosive than Miesha. She'll beat her to the punch every time, imo.

Now put that together with the fact that Miesha's not taking her down, not controlling her or keeping her there if she by some miracle does, I just don't see how Miesha wins this other than maybe pulling off a submission. But I think Sara's too smart to let that happen so it could happen, but I wouldn't bet on it.

And this coming from a Miesha fan. Apparently, you can love a fighter but still be aware of their vulnerabilities at the same time.

@Beauxpati, you can more or less say the same about Miesha ... her signature win is losing relevance since it was 3 years ago and since she's either lost (though looking relatively good doing so) or looked very mediocre and vulnerable in her wins.

None of that screams "signature" so I think predicting based on potential and styles clash is the right way to go in this case ...

Bethe doesnt have a signature win and won't make it halfway through 1st round with Ronda

YossBreaux any of Miesha's wins are better than all of McMann's wins even if they were 50 years ago, lol. 

Marloes, Finney, Zoila all better than any win mcMann has. 

Can you even remember a fight where McMann impressed you? i cant

Rousey would maul her, but what's that really mean? Rousey would maul a good chunk of male bantamweights.

Miesha also was owning Cat on the feet u til she started listening to that bozo boyfriend of hers and she stopped boxing Cat up and started trying to grapple her for some stupid reason.
