Strikeforce: Rousey vs Kaufman

MAIN CARD (Showtime)

Champ Ronda Rousey vs. Sarah Kaufman (for women's bantamweight title)-

Kaufman will have a very lopsided edge on the feet but it will be only a matter of time until Ronda uses he olympic level judo to get the fight to the ground. From there an arm bar should be coming within a minute of them grappling.

Rousey via Sub round 1

Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza vs. Derek Brunson-

Brunson comes in with an impressive 9-1 record but that is insignificant when faced with a top level talent such as jacare. Brunson lost his last fight vs Kendall Grove and should pose minimal threat in this one. Look for Jacare to use his boxing to set up the takedown. While there he will use his world class grappling to finish the fight in round 2.

Jacare via Sub round 2

Roger Bowling vs. Tarec Saffiedine-

This fight should be an exciting one. Bowling likes to come forward and push the pace, this should play right intone the hands of Saffiedine who will be more than happy for this fight to remain standing. Saffiedine's only real challenges in his career have come against wrestlers, fortunately for him this fight will not go to the ground. Saffiedine will outpoint bowling to earn a decision victory.

Saffiedine via Decision

Lumumba Sayers vs. Anthony Smith-

Even though Smith has seemingly turned the corner in his career I still think he lacks the submission game to compete with the likes of Sayers. I see Sayers taking him down early in the first and finishing it soon after.

Sayers via Sub round 1

T.J. Cook vs. Ovince St. Preux-

This fight should be interest because OSP is a up and coming fighter that has a ton of skill. I have not seen many of Cook's fights but from what I have seen he seems to be a Knockout artists that lacks a submission game. OSP should be able to use his jab to keep the distance and outpoint Cook in what could be a war.

OSP via Dec

PRELIMINARY CARD (Showtime Extreme)

Julie Kedzie vs. Miesha Tate-

This fight should be a war and its a shame it won't be showcased on the main card. Both fighters won't hesitate to thrown down on their feet and both have an exciting grappling. I think Tate will end up getting the upper hand in this fight and win an exciting decision. 

Tate via Dec

Bobby Green vs. Matt Ricehouse-

I am really looking forward to this fight! Bobby Green is a good up and coming talent that has mixed it up with some of the more noted guys in the 155lb division outside of the UFC. Ricehouse is also an up and comer that has beaten Randy Couture's son and Jiu Jitsu ace Bill Cooper. I think Green controls the majority of this fight by taking it to the ground but Ricehouse will have a good enough grappling came to stay out of trouble. Green should eek out a very close decision.

Green via Dec

Adlan Amagov vs. Keith Berry-

This should be a showcase fight for Amagov. Both men are knockout artists that will be swinging for the fences early and often. I think Amagov connects with a big blow and ends this one early in round 1.

Amagov via KO round 1

Germaine de Randamie vs. Hiroko Yamanaka-

I am not sure the odds in this fight but I am pretty sure Yamanaka is a big favorite in this one. In order to win this fight Yamanaka needs to get Randamie to the ground in order to get the upper hand in this fight. I think she will struggle with that as Randamie uses her far superior dutch kickboxing skills to land some big blows and knock out Yamanaka to score the huge upset.

Randamie via KO round 2
