Javier Vazquez, on “Beatdown,” discussing Sara McMann’s future after her loss to Ronda Rousey:

“I was super impressed with Sara McMann’s standup. I think she’s going to be a tremendous fighter. What I saw as the problem was that they kind of fed her to Ronda a little bit early. How did everyone expect Sara McMann to win? They expected her to grind out a five-round decision. That’s what I kind of expected, and Ronda has that ace up her sleeve where she can finish the fight at any moment, that Anderson Silva effect. … I was leaning towards Ronda in that effect, but if you give Sara McMann two years, I’ll take her all day long.”
