Strikeforce: Rousey Vs Kaufman took place on Saturday night at the Valley View Casino Center in San Diego, California, and was broadcast around the world on Showtime. The crowd gathered to see Ronda Rousey defend her title for the first time, against Sarah Kaufman, and they witnessed a familiar sight. Right away in the first round, Rousey clnched with Kaufman, and put her back up against the cage. With an inside trip, she took Kaufman down and landed in mount. Seconds later she rolled for the arm bar, and although Kaufman did a good job defending it, she was eventually forced to tap at 54 seconds into the fight. Rousey remains the Strikeforce Womens Bantamn Weight champion.
