AFC signs 2x World Champion Sarah Kaufman
Feb 25, 2011
(PRESS RELEASE) -- North Americas top female fighter Sarah Kaufman
has signed a contract with Armageddon Fighting Championship (AFC).
The two time world champion is scheduled to make her return to
Canada and for the first time fight in her hometown of Victoria BC
at the company’s fifth event, AFC 5: Judgment Day on Saturday,
April 2, 2011. An opponent has not been determined at this
time.
A multiple-time world champion, Kaufman has an aggressive style of striking, from the opening bell she is looking to put her fists to work. Sarah has finished 9 of her 12 wins via (T)KO and one of those an award winning KO slam of Roxanne Modafferi that will live on forever in MMA highlights.
Sarah first captured Strikeforce gold in February 2010 after she
dominated Takayo Hashi for 5 rounds, becoming the first women’s
bantamweight champion. Under the tutelage of her coach BJJ
blackbelt Adam Zugec, Sarah is one of the best fighters on the
planet and is looking to continue with her tremendous success thus
far.
Kaufman is joined on the AFC card with her training partners Nick Driedger, Connor Wood and Ryan Janes as well as Canadian standouts Nick Hinchliffe, Derek Medler and David Perron for what is sure to be a historic night of fights.
ArmageddonFC President Darren Owen had this to say “ I am extremely thrilled to be able to have Sarah fight for us, especially in front of all her friends and family. She has been at all of our events and gets the biggest ovation and now to be able to give our fans what they really want, to watch her compete, just makes sense.”
Based in Victoria, the Armageddon Fighting Championship has quickly become the premier mixed martial arts operation in the province. The organization is broadcast on Canadian combat sports channel The Fight Network, and CHEK TV with events streaming live on GOFIGHTLIVE.tv
