Let’s hope the decision-heavy cards of the UFC’s past two events are a glitch in the Matrix – we’re in the mood for some finishes at UFC 170. Historically, UFC women’s bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey is allergic to scorecards and finishes opponents. But then again, she’s got a tough challenge ahead, no matter what the lopsided odds say. The Olympic bronze medalist in judo is facing off with Olympic silver when she meets freestyle wrestler-turned-MMA fighter Sara McMann in the headliner of Saturday’s event at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Events Center. It’s the first time two athletes with sport’s highest decoration will face off inside the octagon, and the Rousey hype train might have blinded fans to the seriousness of McMann’s threat. A third Olympian also graces the pay-per-view card (sensing a theme here?) when Olympic wrestler Daniel Cormier meets Patrick Cummins.
