FIGHTER INFO
At 17 years of age, Kaufman stumbled upon MMA when a school opened in the building where she was studying dance. She was supposed to meet a friend to check out ZUMA Martial Arts but the friend never showed and Kaufman went in anyway. Initially she enrolled in an aerobic kickboxing class but before long she was taking every class head instructor and BJJ black belt Adam Zugec offered.
At just 24 years old, Kaufman is already 10-0 in a sport where many competitors don’t even have 10 fights under their belt. Now Kaufman prepares for the biggest first of her career; the STRIKEFORCE Women’s 135lb title. She must take on skilled Japanese grappler Takayo Hashi (12-1, 0-0 in STRIKEFORCE). And if successful, the victory will serve as not only yet another in a long line of “firsts” but also as a historic achievement.
