SAN DIEGO – Long story short, Hiroko Yamanaka couldn’t get the takedown, and Germaine de Randamie made her pay.
In the first of three women’s bouts on the card, de Randamie outstruck her Japanese counterpart and posted a shutout unanimous-decision victory.
The featherweight bout was part of the preliminary card of Saturday’s “Strikeforce: Rousey vs. Kaufman” event at Valley View Casino Center in San Diego. It aired on Showtime Extreme prior to the Showtime-televised main card.
