Olympic Silver Medalist McMann Inks Deal with Strikeforce ShareThis
By Mike Whitman (mwhitman@sherdog.com)


Monday, December 27 12:35 am PT: Olympic freestyle wrestling silver medalist Sara McMann has signed with Strikeforce.

McMann spoke exclusively with Sherdog.com about the details of her new deal.

“I am confirmed for three fights on the Challengers series,” said McMann. “I have no idea who will be my first opponent, but I [will be fighting] at 135 pounds. I think that they will be matching me up with people who are comparative to my MMA level to make the fights exciting and give me more experience.”

The Maryland native won silver in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens and has medaled thrice at the FILA World Championships, taking home silver in 2003 and bronze in both 2005 and 2007. All of her medals were won at 63 kg (138 pounds). McMann is the first American woman to win silver in freestyle wrestling, earning her medal at the first games in which the event was available to females. Though she holds a wealth of experience

It was wolfy...i'm happy more decorated female athletes are coming into MMA. Especially the recent muay thai champ and now olympic wrestler who have signed with Strikeforce. In a couple of years there will be enough depth at each weight to where arguments such as "there are too many mismatches in womens MMA"(Dana White/paraphrase) will be null...i agree with that now, but womens MMA is still in it's infancy. Soon they will have to find a new criticism of womens MMA without sounding sexist.

No clue. I saw it posted at another forum and it just made me laugh for some reason. My guess is somebody was barking at Tank Abbott as he was walking away from the cage and Tank stared him down.

Maybe Bird knows.
