Sarah Kaufman wins the Women's title!
The most surprising part of this fight for me is how much damage one kick and one punch from Carano actually do. As much as Carano is my fighter and I love her, I am secretly happy Kaufman FINALLY won a title. She's been a #1 contender about 8 times.
Also, breaking the record for most damage in a single attack is REALLY impressive, since that includes all of the ManMMA heavyweights as well. Crazy shit.
