Sarah Kaufman wins the Women's Bantamweight title!

So for some inexplicable God damned reason, Coenen saw the success Fujii had with submissions against the striker and though – “Nah, fuck that, I’ll just stand with my elite striker of an opponent”. Unfortunatley, that was a stupid, stupid plan and she got destroyed with 0 takedown attempts. That is not how one retains one’s belt. Smart is the way to be, people, not “Anything you can do I can do also, but wait now I am unconscious, damn”.
