SAN DIEGO – For Sarah Kaufman, the game plan against Ronda Rousey should be pretty simple: Don’t get caught in an armbar.
Of course, that’s probably been the game plan for others before her, too, and everyone knows how those fights have ended. Armbar, armbar, armbar, armbar. And also, armbar, armbar, armbar.
For Kaufman, who on Saturday meets Rousey for the Strikeforce women’s bantamweight title, preparing for Rousey’s not-so-secret weapon was a lot of common sense.
