I'm actually hoping that Lucy or Erza (or some other female) will fight Marin.

For one thing they can beat the shovinism out of him and for another we would be able to get to see the inside of the place he sent Lucy and Erza to at their first meeting. He said he only sends those who pass there (which are all female), so with Mest we won't get to see it.
