Perseverance builds toward another UFC opportunity for Montana's Marnic Mann

“People would tell me that you’re never going to make it while you’re living in Montana. You’re not going to be able to make it and I remember making a post on my social media saying watch me, I am gonna make it, and I did.”
Kalispell native Marnic Mann has been one of the latest chapters in Montana’s underrated MMA history, as the second woman ever from the Treasure State to make it to the UFC.
Mann trains out of Bozeman now with her husband, Gage Saunders, and their teammates, and after a blazing start in the sport, she made it to the Dana White’s Contender Series, and last fall, was called up to officially make her UFC debut.
Now, she’s back, as Mann gets set to enter the Octagon on Saturday in Las Vegas as she looks to represent the Treasure State in a big way under the brightest lights.
