Especially if I'm right about it being much harder for Ronda to take her down. As that will just cost her precious moments of top control.
Still upset I completely missed the opening lines.. But I think +150ish is the proper line for Mcmann here.

McMann's fight with Shayna, I think it says a lot.....McMann looked pretty uncomfortable when Shayna was threatening submissions from both the bottom and the top. Despite looking good holding Shayna against the cage Randy Couture style, McMann does NOT want to be there for extended periods against Ronda. She didn't seem to do well in the grappling scrambles, surprising since she's probably physically stronger and has such good wrestling. That last point is huge, Shayna has a good submission game, but she's doesn't have the killer instinct on the ground that Ronda possess, Ronda thrives on those types of scrambles. McMann's best hope is to secure take downs and maintain top control, but as we saw in Rousey's last fight, she's ridiculously active off her back, threatening subs constantly, I think McMann would handle that type of constant pressure well. Think a fair line is Ronda -567.
Oh and there's this:

It's from a few years ago, so it might be whatev at this point, but still interesting.
