Sara McMann Former UFC women’s bantamweight title challenger Sara McMann looks to get back into championship contention when she returns to the cage on Aug. 8 at UFC Fight Night 73 in Nashville. The Olympic silver medalist is set to battle hard-hitting Brazilian standout Amanda Nunes in a featured matchup on the card. McMann (8-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) was seen by many as one of the toughest tests for reigning UFC women’s bantamweight champion – and fellow Olympic medalist – Ronda Rousey, but McMann’s bid for UFC title gold ended in quick and disappointing fashion when she was stopped by Rousey in just 66 seconds at UFC 170. McMann bounced back with a contentious split decision win over former Invicta FC champ Lauren Murphy in August, and she got off to an excellent start in her UFC 183 bout with top contender Miesha Tate in January.
