Liana is probably the best grappler Marina has faced, and one of the better (if not the best) strikers she's faced as well. So she might last a bit longer, and put up a good fight but Marina will probably finish her. Mokhnatkina is literally the best sambo pracioner in the world at her weight. The future seems incredibly bright for her.
I'm not sure King could ever make 125, but 135? I think it's where she needs to end up, even if she stays in Japan, at least there are options there beyond having enormous women swing at you.
McMann has probably learned to be a bit more cautious, Davis beat her up off her back, but I don't think Reneau will do that. I suspect, they strike quite a bit, and we see McMann periodically dumps Reneau.
I like Liana Jojua, she is a solid fighter and I have to agree she is probably the toughest test Marina Mohnatkina has yet come up against in MMA. Yet Mohnatkina ought to be the favorite when they fight. I would like to see the both of them get into bigger shows.
Mohnatkina might be able to side step Invicta but I think Jojua would benefit from fighting there.

For King Reina I want her to start a journey towards fighting at 145lbs and see how that goes. If it works out she should consider looking at 135lbs afterwards.
There are 7-8 times more women to fight at bantamweight then featherweight at the moment.

Watching McMann fight Ketlen Vieira was instructive to me.
McMann made a critical mistake after bailing on her takedown attempt on Nunes when they fought, she did not clinch with her, instead she started throwing punches, got one good one in against Nunes. In trading punches Nunes took over and won the fight of course. McMann should have clinched with Nunes and worked on her there.
In fighting Vieira McMann went early and often to clinching. She made another critical mistake in becoming predictable in her elbow strikes from the clinch, throwing too much into them, and getting herself thrown to the ground and finished.
In fighting Reneau I expect McMann to be cautious and look for clinching and takedowns. Avoid throwing down too much but for dirty boxing for a moment to get to clinching.
Definitely a fight I am interested in seeing. I am wondering if McMann will continue to find ways of goofing up her fights or if she will turn a corner and put a string of wins together.
