About Sarah Kaufman female fighter

Kaufman brought an impressive and superior game to the ring with relentless standup ability and equally impressive ground skills. Marques fought with heart but couldn’t stand against the unyielding strikes Kaufman dealt out.

Attempting to bring the game to the mat, likely hoping for some relief from strikes and to test her opponent’s ground game, Marquez found Kaufman to be well prepared for that aspect as well.
