Rousey closed distance, clinched with Kaufman against the cage, switched her hips back and forth until she could drag or throw Kaufman down, mounted her, locked her arm up, and held onto it for about 20 seconds as Kaufman exhausted herself trying to roll and pull out of it before eventually extending the elbow and getting the tap-out. Pretty much her M.O. Cyborg Santos says she can't make 135-lbs. (well, obviously) and neither can Gina Carano so for the time being I guess we'll have to settle with a Miesha Tate rematch. Could be worse.
Fuck Keith Berry and his protest. Fucking asshole idiot. I'm so glad his MMA career never took off. FUcking cock sucker.
