The UFC women’s bantamweight contender announced Wednesday in an Instagram post that she’s 12 weeks pregnant.
“(Partner) Chad and I started trying after my last fight and that SOB knocked me up immediately,” McMann wrote.
The former UFC title challenger suffered shoulder injuries — a torn labrum and rotator cuffs in both shoulders — in her last two bouts, according to herself, so her pregnancy won’t put much of a delay on her MMA career by itself. She would have to take time off due to the injuries even if she wasn’t pregnant.
However, she plans on returning to the cage once she has her second baby.
