nice picking the "upset" in the last fight. You were the only taking Smith in the prediction league !
I wonder what Greg Jackson's gameplan is for Kaufman for this fight. My guess is she wants her to stay on the outside and stick some jabs and wait for the opportunity for a single or double leg. I'm pretty sure they told her to avoid the clinch at all cost.
Good Judokas are extremely explosive. Jackson probably wants Kaufman to move, stall, and do everything she can to get the fight to the 2nd and/or 3rd rounds. That's when the strength factor will be closer to even, in theory, and Kaufman can make her move.
I can see that. Kaufman's probably gonna give up the 1st rd just to take Ronda to the 2nd where she's never gone before. Easier said than done of course. The clinch is almost inevitable when an elite Judoka is fighting.
I was going to say, 0 ko's is a pretty incredible stat, since by all accounts, he has some heavy hands. I'm a Jacare fan, not shitting on him.
