I refuse to answer this question because clearly you are counting out Kaufman.

Kaufman doesn't have a chance. You can quote me.

I changed my pick from Kaufman 2TKO to Rousey 2Sub. I also changed a few other picks - I'll soon see if that was a mistake or not.

saying she doesn't have a chance is absurd, her biggest strength is her opponent's greatest weakness and she has no chance? Kaufman could win the fight on one punch ffs, She's the best striker in WMMA, she could definitely win.
But she won't. Kaufman tends to punch herself into clinches (vs Davis if you remember) and if she even does that ONCE, Rousey's gonna murder her. In fact, in a 25 minute fight there is NO WAY Kaufman could avoid the clinch for the whole time, the inevitable will happen and Rousey will destroy her.
But Kaufman does have a chance.

LOL she doesn't have a chance, Anik just explained it. And personally, I think she wins but I give Anik the respect for realizing Kaufman is no joke and has a huge chance.

Of course she's no joke, she's arguably the P4P best woman's fighter on the planet right now and I've seen her on the top of many rankings.

If you don't think Kaufman's got a chance, then your head's empty.
Have you ever SEEN Rousey's standup? Tate was ducking her head and swinging wild hooks in their fight and she was actually tagging and ******* Ronda up, if Kaufman starts to land off combos or even if she starts to brawl like that, Ronda is getting ****** up.
You're talking about the most powerful striker at 135.

I don't care if she's Muhammed Ali reincarnated, she isn't good enough to stay standing.

Sara could stay away from the clinch and box her way into a win, but like @Messiah said (except I won't be so harsh lol), she just isn't good enough to keep this fight out of the clinch and keep it standing.

I agree 100%with mmamessiah. Kaufman has 5 decision wins in her last 7. Her knockout power has been overstated in this forum. World class Olympian grappler vs striker will go to the ground and end via submission. I do have Kaufman surviving the first round but won't get through the second

Cyborg would stomp Ronda. Striking is way better and more powerful and I would bet she can hang with Ronda on the ground. Ronda is an olympic judoka, but judo players don't spend as much time training on the ground as BJJ players do. I am willing to bet that a world champion level purple belt in BJJ could out-grapple almost any olympic judoka in a submission battle. That's exactly what Cyborg is, a 2x purple belt world champion in BJJ representing team Atos. She trains under Andre Galvao and with training partners like the Mendes brothers, Ary Farias, Claudio Calasans, and Gilbert Burns, who are all waaaay more decorated grapplers than the guys Ronda trains with at the Caesar Gracie gym. All that plus size and strength advantage plus STRIKES ON THE GROUND = Ronda gets KTFO

I don't know if Cyborg would out-grapple Ronda, but she wouldn't need to. And for the purple belt vs olympic judoka thing, I would only bet if it were men grappling. The men in BJJ are way better than the women for some reason. If it were someone like Keenan Cornelius or the Miyao brothers, I would bet on them to beat an olympic judoka in a submission fight.

Spiderguard, If it were ronda right after the olympics as a pure judoka then yes, but in the 4 years since she'll have trained bjj as well. I think cyborg certainly wins if its at 145, but not by out grappling
At 135 if cyborg makes it i dont think she'll be recognisable as her normal self, gases, gets snapped.
