bjpenndotcom - May 8, 2012

Ronda Rousey will be looking to continue her winning streak by successfully defending her Strikeforce Bantamweight Title for the first time this summer. After defeating Miesha Tate at a Strikeforce event in March 2012, and with Cyborg Santos sidelined due to suspension, Ronda Rousey is now expected to face top-contender Sarah Kaufman at a Strikeforce card in August that has yet to be announced. The date and location are not yet confirmed, but with UFC events booked for August 4th and 11th it’s a safe bet that the event will take place in the second half of August.
