Sara McMann’s UFC Career On Hold After Announcing Pregnancy

Sara McMann is taking time off of her UFC career, as she is pregnant. The bantamweight announced the news on Wednesday that she is expecting her second child. You can see her post below via Instagram.

McMann last fought in February with a loss to Marion Reneau at UFC on FOX 28. On behalf of 411, congratulations to McMann and her family.

I’ve been dying to tell the world 🤰🏻❤️❤️❤️ The short story: Chad and I started trying after my last fight and that SOB knocked me up immediately 😄 I’m 12 weeks along! The long version: I’ve had bad shoulder injuries my last 2 fights (torn labrum and rotator cuffs in BOTH shoulders). I have to take time off to get healthy no matter what. I’m 37 and I’m getting too close to the time of possibly not being able to conceive. We decided that it was the right time in all aspects. So, yes I will still be fighting. My body handles pregnancy very well and I am training thru the majority of it. Thanks to everyone who is happy for our happiness 😁😁😁 #ufc #pregnancyannouncement #12weekspregnant #beyondgrateful
