--
Strikeforce Challengers was back with their twentieth offering, and the final of the series in 2011, with an under-hyped card featuring solid talent including undefeated competitors like Matt Ricehouse and Derek Brunson, as well as bout between top female contenders Julia Budd and Ronda Rousey and promotional veteran Antwain Britt making his middleweight debut.

The action was fast and furious on the main card with four first-round finishes including a grotesque submission from rising star Rousey who snapped Budd’s arm to maintain her perfect record. After the bout she promptly called out Sarah Kaufman, hoping to take her slot in an eventual title-fight with bantamweight champion Miesha Tate.

net de partij gezien van rousey vs budd, waarom zou ze voor de titel van miesha tate gaan. ze vecht op het gewicht van cyborg. cyborg heeft volgens mij de afspraak dat zij nog een partij voor strikeforce vecht. die ze 17 dec tegen yamanaka vecht. rousey zou dan toch prima tegen de winnaar daarvan kunnen?

Dat dames mma is wel waardeloos zeg, die judoka komt even wat potjes mma vechten en wint ze alledrie op armbar, dan is het niveau toch wel slecht.
Overigens vind ik het niet erg als ik die judoka over de grond zie rollen ;)

ze zal het alleen maar moeilijk krijgen tegen een goede BJJ'er maar ben bang dat ze door het sturen door de worp een enorm voordeel blijft houden. Zou haar wel tegen Marloes willen zien vechten

Nog geen 1500 man in de zaal en afgekapt door Showtime... Wat een armoede dat Strikeforce

Mooie armbar, het leek wel dat Ronda dacht dat haar tegenstandster al afklopte omdat ze even inhield..

Ronda Rousey Arm Bars Julia Budd at Strikeforce Challengers

In a fight with major implications for the future of women's mixed martial arts, former Olympic judo competitor Ronda Rousey needed just 39 seconds to submit Julia Budd (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/julia/budd/1666/) with an arm bar at Friday night's Strikeforce (http://www.mmafighting.com/strikeforce/) Challengers event.

Rousey's ground game is simply on a different level from Budd -- and from just about every other woman in the world -- and it didn't take her long to establish that: As soon as she got Budd down, Rousey effortlessly transitioned into mount, then cranked on Budd's arm and forced her to tap.

"I got tagged a couple more times than I would like to, but I'm stoked," Rousey said afterward.

Rousey is now 4-0 in her professional MMA (http://www.mmafighting.com/) career, with all four wins coming by first-round arm bar in less than a minute. Rousey could be a good future opponent for Strikeforce 145-pound champion Cris Cyborg, but she said after the fight that she'd rather move down to 135 pounds and fight for the title there.

"I really want to have a title shot at Miesha Tate (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/miesha/tate/1317/)," Rousey said.

Whatever weight class she's fighting in, Rousey is a force. She has the potential to be a great crossover star for women's MMA.

In other Strikeforce Challengers action:

-- Lumumba Sayers needed just 28 seconds to knock out Antwain Britt, pummeling Britt with hard punches against the cage and finishing him off with a devastating uppercut.

-- Adlan Amagov got a highlight-reel knockout of Anthony Smith in the first round, swinging wildly and connecting with a huge overhand right and then finishing him off with four more bombs on the ground. The always exciting Amagov is now 9-1-1 in his MMA career.

-- Trevor Smith (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/trevor/smith/1810/) submitted T.J. Cook with a guillotine choke in the first round. Smith put on a solid showing and improved his pro record to 9-1, with eight of his nine wins coming by submission.

-- Derek Brunson (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/derek/brunson/1806/) beat Nate James by unanimous decision, 30-27 on all three judges' scorecards, in a fairly dull battle to get the Showtime televised card started.
