Former UFC title challenger Sara McMann joins Team Alpha Male
The stable of talent at Team Alpha Male continues to grow with the addition of UFC women’s bantamweight contender Sara McMann.
McMann (11-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) has officially joined the team in Sacramento, Calif., ahead of her scheduled bout with Ketlen Vieira (8-0 MMA. 2-0 UFC) at UFC 215, which takes place Sept. 9 at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, with the main card on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
The full-time move to Team Alpha Male has been pending for several weeks, now it’s official (via Instagram):
McMann, No. 9 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA women’s bantamweight rankings, unsuccessfully challenged then-champion Ronda Rousey for the title at UFC 170 in February 2014. She’s dropped fights to Miesha Tate and current champion Amanda Nunes since, but otherwise has overwhelmed her competition.
The 36-year-old is currently riding a three-fight winning streak including consecutive arm-triangle submission wins against Alexis Davis and Gina Mazany. She will attempt to push her winning streak to four against the undefeated Vieira.
