#5 Sarah Kaufman put’s a woman’s touch on Roxanne Modafferi

Combat sports have historically been men’s territory, but the women aren’t as far behind as most would assume. It is unfortunate that they get less of the spotlight, but when it comes to skills, it’s an even playing field.

Sarah Kaufman was a red-hot prospect in the early days of women’s MMA, mowing through all eleven of her opponents and seizing the Strikeforce Bantamweight crown. Her first defence came against zany but wily Roxanne Modafferi, who some would remember from season 18 of The Ultimate Fighter.

In the third round, a persistent Modafferi tried to cinch an armbar on Kaufman, but the champ had other ideas. With beastly power that would put a smile on Rampage Jackson’s face, Kaufman lifted the clawing Modafferi and slammed her on the floor for an instant KO.
