Sarah Kaufman (15-1) will finally get her shot to reclaim the Strikeforce Bantamweight Championship when she faces Ronda Rousey (5-0) on August 18th.
MMAFighting.com first reported the date and location, San Diego, earlier this month.
Rousey leapfrogged Kaufman for the March title shot against Miesha Tate after calling out the champion, a much-talked-about topic.
Now, that is old news, and Kaufman will fight for the title.
The undefeated champion has been enjoying new heights of stardom since her March victory, ringing the bell at the New York Stock Exchange, various media appearences and most recently signing her first ever Topps trading card.
On August 18th, she will face her toughest challenger to date.
Kaufman is on a three-fight win streak after dropping the bantamweight title to Marloes Coenen two years ago. The longtime contender has finished over a third of her opponents. She would like nothing more than to derail the hype train of the champion in August in San Diego.
Here is the breakdown of the Strikeforce championship fight.
