Marion Reneau vs. Sara McMann headed to UFC on FOX 28 in Orlando
In the wake of an injury to Tonya Evinger, Marion Reneau has been rebooked against Sara McMann.
Originally slated to fight at UFC Fight Night 126, Reneau (8-3-1 MMA, 4-2-1 UFC) will face McMann (11-4 MMA, 5-4 UFC) at UFC on FOX 28, MMAjunkie has learned from multiple people with knowledge of the new booking. They requested anonymity because the news was not yet public.
UFC on FOX 28 takes place Feb. 28 at Amway Center in Orlando, Fla. The event’s main card airs live on FOX following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Invicta FC women’s bantamweight champion Yana Kunitskaya (10-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC) recently announced she would face McMann at the event. But the matchup was not officially announced by the UFC. It’s unclear if Kunitskaya will be rebooked for another event.
Reneau initially lobbied for a fight with UFC bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes when Evinger (19-6 MMA, 0-1 UFC) was forced out of UFC Fight Night 126. But today, she hinted at a new matchup.

Reneau is four months removed from a TKO over Talita Bernardo at UFC Fight Night 115, which put her back in the win column after a draw against onetime bantamweight title challenger Bethe Correia.
McMann is on the road to redemption after Ketlen Vieira at UFC 215, which snapped a three-fight winning streak. The Olympic silver medalist wrestler is 4-3 since a loss to now-former champ Ronda Rousey in 2014.
