Wonder Woman vs Mantis

Marvel's number one martial artist ( so I think until someone proves me wrong ) vs Diana ( whom Batman thinks is the best melee fighter in the world ) fighting in a super hard metal cage 36×24 feet, H2H only, no gear for WW as both women are 100% naked. Who wins and why?

WW, it becomes closer if stats were equalised though. She's too fast and strong for Mantis.

Well Mantis has taken fown Thor before with pressure points applied to his neck, however you can make the case that she caught him off guard.

Plus WW is more skilled and faster than Thor

Not too sure about being too fast.

I believe Doctor Strange used a technique he was taught by Mantis to track Air Walker with a magic bolt. I forget when this happened, but perhaps someone else may know the example I'm talking about.

Plus Mantis herself had danced around Obliterator, Heralds, other speedsters (Didn't she trip one?)

And then there's that time she raced across a farm a sizable distance to intercept a shotgun, starting her run only after it fired at its target.

I seem to remember somewhere in an issue of Avengers or some other where Mantis took down Quicksilver with a flying kick.

Diana bounces her off the pavement.

I get she has highs over her career, but I don't know....I feel like a sane Typhoid Mary and Mantis are fairly equivalent. Trade-offs in certain areas, but similar enough. Plus, as Smurph pointed out, "cosmic martial arts" seems to have fallen by the wayside in modern times. Has Mantis done any of that stuff in the past 25-30 years?

Agreed.
