Ronda Rousey wins the Women’s title!
Kaufman started off strong. She was able to land some clean shots, and do some clean damage. The fight went to the ground. Then somewhere in the scuffle, randomly Rousey got the advantage, and took control. She didn’t screw around, and got her positioning secure and finished up shop.
After discussing the fight with Cannon, she has decided Rousey is still fit for the Dominic Cruz fight, so stay tuned after the main event for that Exhibition superfight!
