Sarah Kaufman defends the Women's Bantamweight title!
Good back and forth fight for 2 rounds. At the end of the second, Kaufman had a good offensive burst that set her up well for the third. She then built on that to finish the fight and defend again. Rin is sad. Well....I would assume she is. It would be rather disturbing if she was indifferent to winning the belt now, wouldn’t it.
