SAN DIEGO – Leah McCourt is getting her wish.
McCourt will challenge women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg next – and that’s because she took care of business by finishing Sara McMann with vicious ground-and-pound in the first round of their bout this past Saturday at Bellator 300.
Shortly after McCourt’s victory, Cyborg retained her title with a beatdown of Cat Zingano. Following the first-round TKO, McCourt (8-3 MMA, 7-2 BMMA) stepped back in the cage to face off with Cyborg.
