I have a major wrestling bias, and with that, I have not yet given up on McMann as a contender. She does put in the effort with addressing her defensive shortcomings, but she still has gotten caught in subs time in and time out. I would love to see her get back on track with a win. I have always been a fan of her -- she hasn't lived up to her expectations, but MMA is a tough sport -- she's respectful, humble, and hardworking. This is a favorable match up for her which I expect her to win, no offense to the Queen of elbows.

Option 3) not the viewers

McMann is past her best and will probably lose.

Went to raleigh, nc for the first time in my life. I thought I went back in time by about 10 years.

Another example of why I never had children.

 

[Talkingtom]

@Eater of Souls.Is the primary example, that you are incelled to the absolute max?

McMann has disappointed me a few times, and Lansberg has impressed me a few times. On paper McMann should win, but I think Lansberg will outwork her.

I think this is pretty much my view too.
McMann has a lot of promise but it just hasn't really worked out for whatever reason.
Lansberg is game as f**k (I mean... she fought cyborg FFS..) and she's definitely someone fairly tough.

So yeah I'd say probably Lansberg gets the win.

This fight is going to suck so bad, I will only tune for the PBP thread comments

How is WMMA still a thing!? We need some MTF transitioners tossed in there to spice things up a bit!

 

[Askafan]

Has Cifers v Van Buren been announced yet, looking forward to that one.

Only ten?

I live in NC (born in Raleigh) and they’re decades ahead of most of the state. Stop off in any small town outside there and you can travel back in time a lot farther than just ten years.

Hopefully we don't have the first death in the octagon.

McMann's a good wrestler & can win with power if she doesn't get caught in a submission. I like Lansberg's quickness and she's very good in the clinch especially with those elbows. Overall I like Lansberg's strengths along with her ring iq to win the fight.
