Well that was a pretty disappointing debut from Herrig. McMann was ready for this fight though, gunning for the takedowns and ground attacks and what not. She seemed to know Herrig would try to keep it standing, and countered that strategy quite well. Herrig could not gain consistent control to maintain a standing fight, and paid the price. Back to the drawing board for Herrig, and up the ladder with McMann. Decent, action-packed women’s fight.
