I’d be training at ZUMA right now if my car hadn’t been torched, unfortunately, but this is pretty sweet news.

Thanks for reporting that. I’ve been waiting on news of Sarah’s inevitable signing for quite some time now… and I was tired of asking her to her face, frankly.

Sarah is going to be involved in some fantastic female matchups now. Kudos to EliteXC whatever state they’re in for continually pushing female Mixed Martial Arts.

Just watched some of Sarah Kaufman’s fights. She seems like a great matchup for Cyborg!

Bigtime congrats to all the fighting women who have signed with EliteXC. I am really glad for Sarah Kaufman. I want to see more of her in the futrue. I just hope EliteXC is around long enough to showcase her fighting skills. It would be a shame if EliteXC suffered the same fate as Bodog did.

I’ve fought many times in Victoria B.C.,in elementary school,high school ,against my brothers…born and raised there.
My fight record sucks big time though.
Anyways,good news about Sarah Kaufman.
I hope Elite XC lasts at least long enough for her to get some good exposure.

laserline: If by “connections” you mean “is coaching and training there six days a week”, you’re right.

I really hope Dana White changes his mind and a solid women’s division is added to WEC after Elite tanks.

I train out of Zuma’s gym in Victoria BC where Sarah Kaufman started training and I think she still has ties there.. saw her fight Ginele live.. she’s a beast and would give Carano or even Cyborg fits on the feet.. she hits extremely hard.
