McMann is basically a wrestler who grounds and pounds and has a few subs. You've seen that movie before. I think it will really come down to the clinch, and whether McMann can maintain top position, safely, if she does get Rousey on her back. If McMann can hold her down, she will grind away. As for stand up, I think Rousey is better, but who knows, neither are very good strikers. They both basically can hold their own long enough to use their grappling skills to win. McMann has won over half her fights by decision or in the third, so she has shown she can hang in the deep end, whereas Rousey has been past the first round once. It's hard to tell, but if McMann can ride her like a wet carpet, she may wear Rousey out. But again, who knows. Should be a good fight. I'm curious as to what others think may happen, who has what advantage where. Predictions, anyone?
