Going into last night's fight with Roxanne Modafferi, Kaufman had expressed discontent with Strikeforce regulating her to a Challengers card for her first title defense. She planned to make a statement, she said, with her performance, and would show once and for all that she deserved to be on a main Strikeforce card like every other title holder.
And boy, did she ever make a statement.
Check out this clip of her finishing the fight (decisively!!) in round 3. The full fight, well worth watching, is after the jump.

Only two more days until Sarah Kaufman defends her Strikeforce title against Roxanne Modafferi. Today's video is the 2nd of the fights that Roxanne personally considers her best ones. This was her rematch with Tara LaRosa at Moosin: God of Martial Arts earlier this year. A bonus in this fight is getting to hear commentary by Bas! Round one is below, rounds 2 and 3 after the jump.

This Friday, Strikeforce women's welterweight champ Sarah Kaufman will have her first title defense fight against Roxanne Modafferi. In honor of this event, this week we will be featuring videos of fights from them both. We begin today with the supercool Roxanne Modafferi. Last week, she took the time to fill me in on what she considered her best fights. One of them is her rematch with Jennifer Howe. Below is round 1, rounds 2 and 3 after the jump. Tomorrow it's Sarah's turn!

Ok, to start with, I know I mentioned some of these fights in my MMA You Want To Watch story on Monday. Well, honestly, I'm not real sure who exactly Mousasi is fighting now. First, Jake O'Brien missed weight. Supposedly, DREAM asked Ricco Rodriguez to step in. Rodriguez was supposed to fight Overeem tonight, but everyone except FEG knew Overeem wasn't fighting this weekend. So then I see the news that Rodriguez isn't fighting Mousasi, and O'Brien is back in the fight. This whole experience is a bigger clusterf*** than the M-1 debacle that also livened up the week. Since I have no idea what is truth and what is rumor at this point, I'm just going to run my coffee directly into my veins, try not to wake anyone else in the house, and watch some great fights. War Aoki, Omigawa, Manhoef, Mousasi!!
Rumored Offical fight card for DREAM 15:
Shinya Aoki (23-5) vs. Tatsuya Kawajiri (26-5)
Katsunori Kikuno (13-2) vs. Gesias "JZ" Cavalcante (14-3)
Gegard Mousasi (28-3) vs. Jake O'Brien (13-3)
Tatsuya Mizuno (7-5) vs. Melvin Manhoef (24-7)
MIchihiro Omigawa (10-8) vs. Young Sam Jung (0-2)
Mitsuhiro Ishida (18-6) vs. Daiki "DJ.taiki" Hata (11-6)
Kazuhiro Nakamura (14-10) vs. Karl "Psycho" Amoussou (11-2)

In addition, Dana White told MMAJunkie the following:
"What I expect of these guys is I expect these guys to go out and perform," White said. "Let me tell you this, and I mean it, we're writing some [expletive] checks tonight. We're writing checks – more than what you heard here tonight. Guys are going to get well taken care of tonight.
"Tonight was the greatest night of fights I've ever seen. There's going to be some happy [expletives] skipping out of the MGM tonight, I'll tell you that right now."
All in all, a fabulous night of fights yesterday. We were, of course, disappointed that Petruzelli lost, but hopefully, from Dana's comment above, his place in the UFC will be safe for now.
I'm not really surprised by the outcome of the Lesnar/Carwin fight. I knew that if Lesnar could make it through the initial Carwin barrage (which was brutal), he'd have a hell of a shot at winning the fight. I guess the major question was if he could make it through the initial barrage, which he obviously did. I will say that, now that Carwin knows what it's like to see a second round, if he adapts his game plan I don't see any reason why he wouldn't be able to beat Lesnar in a re-match.
Chris Leben with a submission win? I found myself thinking, "Did that just happen?"
The fight between Lesnar and Carwin cemented one more thing in my head, and that is the fact that the UFC needs a super heavyweight division. I see guys like Brendan Schaub, who is a huge dude in his own right, but he looks positively svelt next to Lesnar and Carwin. Thoughts?
Tweet of the Night - fightmagazine: Stephan Bonnar IS "The American Psycho." His fights are like metal symphonies on busted seven string guitars. Umm.....what?! I really have no idea what the hell this means.
