SAN DIEGO – That’s one way to pick up the biggest win of your career.
Leah McCourt made a statement with her performance at Bellator 300 as she beat up former UFC title challenger Sara McMann to earn a first-round TKO victory Saturday night at Pechanga Arena.
The fight got off to a fast, back-and-forth start, but once McCourt (8-3 MMA, 7-2 BMMA) secured top position late in the first round, she took full advantage of it by raining down punches on McMann (14-7 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) near the fence. With McMann trapped and barely able to defend herself, McCourt switched to some hard elbows, which prompted referee Jason Herzog to step in.

The victory was a big rebound for McCourt, who was coming off a tough unanimous decision loss to women’s featherweight title challenger Cat Zingano in a five-round main event this past March.
It’s the first loss for McMann in Bellator after she debuted with the promotion this past April by beating former two-time title challenger Arlene Blencowe.
