UFC on FOX 28 results: Marion Reneau survives rough first, taps Sara McMann in second

ORLANDO, Fla. – Marion Reneau had to survive a rough first round against Sara McMann, but turned the tables in the second.

The 40-year-old Reneau (9-3-1 MMA, 5-2-1 UFC) finished McMann (11-5 MMA, 5-5 UFC), an Olympic silver medalist in wrestling, with a triangle choke. The stoppage came at the 3:40 mark of the second.

The women’s bantamweight bout was part of the preliminary card of today’s UFC on FOX 28 event at Amway Center in Orlando, Fla. It aired on FOX following additional prelims on UFC Fight Pass and ahead of a main card on FOX.

McMann threw a combination early, but Reneau slipped away from it and moved back to the middle. McMann clipped Reneau with a left hand 45 seoncds in, and not long after that got inside for a three-punch combo that she used to easily toss Reneau to the canvas.

McMann easily got to side control and started to work short punches with her right hand. She pinned Reneau’s left arm down with ease, then locked it up to keep raining punches. Reneau didn’t have an answer other than to hold on and try to keep McMann from landing punches and elbows. With about a minute left, McMann briefly took Reneau’s back, then slid around for a north-south choke. Reneau survived that, then had to survive dozens of punches from McMann until the horn to get to the second round.

Reaneu found her mark in the second and took McMann offf her feet. McMann tried to recover, but was left covering up on the canvas while Reneau tried to get the finish. Midway through, after McMann recovered on the feet, she took Reneau down. But Reneau worked for a triangle choke and had it tight. She grabbed McMann’s right arm, then alternated between trying to pull down for the finish and landing elbows.

McMann fought against the finish for as long as she could, but then had no choice but to tap to the triangle choke when Reneau adjusted it one more time and started to roll with it.

Reneau has back-to-back wins and is unbeaten in her past four fights. McMann has back-to-back losses after a submission loss to Ketlen Vieira this past September.
