MMAFighting.com confirmed the news, which should be officially announced by the promotion in the coming weeks. No other fights for the 8/18 card have been reported yet, and the venue hasn't been announced, although Strikeforce's last two stops in San Diego — for Melendez vs. Masvidal and Diaz vs. Daley — went down at the Valley View Casino. If Rousey can armbar her way through Kaufman, she may earn the dubious honor of facing Cris Cyborg in her next defense. As Scott Coker recently explained: "I think (a fight between Rousey and Cyborg) is going to be inevitable. I think that fight will happen at some point. We're just waiting for Cyborg to get off her suspension but that conversation will happen once she's back ready to fight because her and Ronda at 135-pounds? That might be the highest rated show on Showtime for the year or for the past fights we've done. Women's fights always rate well on Showtime and Ronda's always delivered." So, two questions...Daiki DJ taiki Hata He Peng David Heath Delson Heleno Dan Henderson
