Rousey finishes Kaufman by armbar in round 1, calls out Cyborg

Well, she’s done it again. Ronda Rousey finished Sarah Kaufman by her signature armbar at 0:54 in round 1.

The judo specialist came out swinging, once she got ahold of Kaufman she immediately took the fight to the ground and secured the armbar. Kaufman attempted to stack the champ and get out of the armbar, but it was way too tight.

There were plenty of claims that Cris “Cyborg” Santos wanted to make the drop to 135lbs to challenge for the title. Rousey had harsh words for Cyborg following the fight.

“First of all, I need to send out a challenge to Miss Cy-Roid out there” Rousey said to Mauro Ranallo. “People want to see you have the first fair fight of your life. I’m the champ – the champ doesn’t go to you, you come to the champ. Come down to 135lbs and lets settle this.”

The call-outs didn’t stop there.

“If you still want to go out in the parking lot, my friend Russell brought my gloves, and I’m going to be right there.”

Mauro then asked Rousey if she wanted Cyborg next and she responded with, “was the first part not clear enough?”

Rousey has finished all six of her professional fights via first round armbar. Her time inside the cage since her professional debut has been an astounding 7 minutes and 47 seconds.

Santos will not be back into action until the end of the year, as her suspension doesn’t end until December. It doesn’t appear that Rousey is willing to go back up to 145lbs, so time will tell whether or not Cyborg can even make the 135lbs weight limit.

Now the question at hand is, will Cyborg get the immediate title shot at 135lbs following her suspension? or will Miesha Tate get the next shot?

  1. Has to be the MOST CLASSLESS statement ever heard from a fighter, even the men don’t say what this P.O. SHIT Pousey said when calling Cyborg, “Cy-roid”………………………….She has to be some kind of inbred species because she just keeps the really ignorant comments toward other fighters, men and women! Maybe she’s a good fighter after THE FEW FIGHTS SHE HAS HAD…LOL but not nearly enough to be so brash because “SHE WILL GET HERS, SHE WILL GET HER ASS KICKED WHEN THE WOMEN CATCH UP TO THE MEN with fighters coming out of the woodwork to put her in her place, GUARNTEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
