Sarah Kaufmann

Slow weekend coming up for MMA action. The only card with more than one decent fight is the PFC show tomorrow night in California. Two fights that I will be making predictions on. The only other thing of note this weekend is Jeff Monson is scheduled to fight UFC 1 veteran Pat Smith. Undefeated Canadian Sarah Kaufmann is fighting on the PFC card and I am very excited.

Sarah Kaufman has two qualities I look for in a female fighter that make me a fan. She's Canadian and she's good-looking. Just kidding. Well I am not kidding about those facts, she is Canadian and she is good looking (no Gina Carano or Michelle Waterson, but still very cute), but I like her for other reasons. She is an all-around outstanding fighter. Since starting her career in small local shows in British Columbia, she worked her way up to TKO and Hardcore Championship Fighting and got some national exposure and now is making her US debut tomorrow night. She has put together a 7-0 record and is far and away the best Canadian female fighter. She is scheduled to fight Sara Schneider tomorrow night. I am looking for Schneider to pick up a fairly easy victory. She is a really good striker and has won ever single one of her fights by T/KO. I'm told her ground skills are compatible to her striking, but I haven't seen much of her ground skills because she has so much success with her striking. It is a shame EliteXC closed down because Kaufman was scheduled to fighter Kristin Young in that organization but it shut down before the fight could happen. Kaufman also apparently has a deal with StrikeForce in addition to her PFC deal so hopefully she will within a year or so be known by everyone as a top female fighter and will be fighting the Cris Santos' and the Gina Carano's of the world.

My predictions for tomorrow night's PFC card which are the only predictions I am doing for this weekend as there are no other really noteworthy fights. Current prediction record is 162-70-5-9 for 69.8%.
