People really think she's a 5:1 underdog? lol.... I know my coach fought her, my coach being pretty darn good, and lost (altough she got stage fright since it was her first time fighting in the Bell Center).

Kaufman has the better stand-up, for sure. If she can avoid the clinch game and keep her distance, it's going to be a long night for Rhonda. But, I see Rhonda winning the same way as always, via armbar. She'll get it the ground eventually and when she does the fight will pretty much be over.

Kaufman is super strong though, in the fight against my coach, she was able to pick her up and bring her to the whole other side of the cage. So yes, I might agree that she is an underdog, but not a 5:1.

She really stands little to no chance of winning. Her record is pretty deceiving, 10 out of her 15 wins have come by TKO/KO, however, out of her 5 fights in Strikeforce, she has only finished one, and that was with a HUGE Rampage-like slam that's not going to happen against someone with a good ground game like Rhonda. You never know though, it's MMA.

I'm not saying she's standing great chance but I'm saying she's standing better chances than what shes given by the odds :P

The odds are correct. The minute Rousey gets a paw on her you can expect her to go flying and get sub'd.

I like Kaufman better but sadly ,I think Rousey winning is better for women's Mma ...

Kaufman is the stronger of the two but Rousey's judo is HAM so I would have to agree with BigBalluh that if Rousey gets a hold of kaufman its armbar time. Let's hope Kaufman knows this going in and sprawl like a mothafuka is shit hits the ground.

Not to be too sexist, but the fact that women don't have the explosive KO power that a male fighter would gives Ronda a tremendous edge.

This is overlooked because what I stated above allows her to walk through numerous punches like the terminator and initiate clinches, which usually ends up as a judo throw.

It's hilarious because her striking is horrible.. she just blocks punches with her face until she's in clinching range.
