Prediction: Yan fought earlier as a featured bout on Road to UFC and got the win. Now, she’s getting an even tougher fighter in Invicta FC vet McCormack. McCormack isn’t the most exciting fighter but she’s going to break girls with her gritty fight style.
I feel confident that McCormack can control the fight and get those key takedowns. Once she gets in there I believe she will dominate top position and eventually get the ground and pound stoppage.
