@idrownfish it's not that female wrestling has a long way to go, no Sara McMann's problem is she doesn't have anything other then wrestling, which has become brutally apparent.

Female wrestling has been an olympic sport since... 2004. Which is the year during which McMann got her medal.

She was outwrestled by Miesha Tate. It is a shame because her striking is actually pretty good, and if her wrestling was as good as advertised she would be right below the champ in this division.

Man, that was back-and-forth, tough first round to call. I'd give it to OSP for landing more offense.

I somehow just kinda forgot that Glover is actually very competent at wrestling and BJJ when I picked OSP.  Opps.

@idrownfish 2004 runner-up to 3x Olympic champion and 8 time world champion Kaori Icho. Amateur wrestling credentials are not completely indicative of a fighters career trajectory and skill set but are rather useful in identifying their potential and what sort of wrestling style they would implement in MMA . Simply put McMann's style of wrestling has not phased over as well to MMA as myself and others think and it's not because it isn't truly exceptional, no it's because her other skill sets are underdeveloped and she has to force her wrestling.  Just because Miesha Tate out grappled McMann doesn't mean that McMann's credentials are complete hype and that her wrestling's no good, no it just means McMann's wrestling was not adapted for that fight.
