Before Ronda Rousey became the face of women's MMA, Canada's own Sarah Kaufman was widely considered the pound-for-pound best female fighter in world.

That wouldn't last—the popular Rousey continued to rise undefeated through Strikeforce while Kaufman dropped a featherweight title defense to Marloes Coenen and a bantamweight championship bout to Rousey just three fights later.

Now, Kaufman will start her comeback in the all-women's Invicta FC 5 event on April 5, but she still wants another shot at Rousey.

During an interview with the MMA Underground, Kaufman talked about her previous win over potential Ultimate Fighter 18 coach Miesha Tate and where she wants to go if she notches a win on Friday in Kansas City:

100% I want Ronda Rousey. I will continue to put on exciting fights and beat my way back to the top. Women (and the 135lb division) in MMA are in a great place right now. We have the UFC, Invicta, Bellator, and other organizations all putting on some amazing fights. I want to continue to be a part of that growth and push the boundaries even further. Miesha Tate was also fun to punch in the face. I'd love to get that opportunity again, but this time, finish her before the final bell!

Kaufman previously defeated Tate in her May 2009 Strikeforce debut by unanimous decision, but the two fighters are in very different places nearly four years later.

Both women would eventually lose title matches against Rousey, though, with Kaufman falling prey to an armbar in just 54 seconds. 

Tate would rebound a win in her final Strikeforce bout and a UFC contract, where she's currently scheduled to fight Cat Zigano at the upcoming TUF 17 Finale in Las Vegas on April 13.

(That match will be the second-ever female fight in UFC history, set as part of the event's main card.)

Whoever wins that fight will go on to coach opposite of Rousey in the 18th season of The Ultimate Fighter, which will include a mix of male and female bantamweight fighters—a rare first in the show's eight-year history.

Rousey and Tate are noted for having an intense rivalry, so a win for Tate could mean huge ratings for TUF and the UFC next season. Kaufman is one of the few female MMA bantamweights to have earned a UFC contract, so a victory at Invicta FC 5 might potentially start building up a solid case for a rematch with Rousey.

Transgender fighter Fallon Fox has tackled the latest obstacle in her hope to remain a competitor in the state of Florida, and she will be allowed to compete at her next scheduled bout for Championship Fighting Alliance on May 24.

On Tuesday, the Florida Boxing Commission closed the investigation into Fox's licensing application, which means she will be able to compete in the state in future fighting events.

Fox was issued a fight license by the state in early March, but the application she submitted was under review for "alleged discrepancies."

"Fallon Fox was issued a Florida license on March 2, 2013. Our Department had been investigating alleged discrepancies in the information provided on the application, and during that investigation Fox’s license was not suspended or frozen; it was still active. The investigation was concluded yesterday," said Sandi Poreda, Director of Communications for the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, in a statement emailed to Bleacher Report on Wednesday.  "Currently, there is nothing that would prohibit her from being proposed on a fight card in our state. We have not received any fight cards for future fights for her at this time."

Fox has been at the center of controversy for the last several weeks after she revealed that while born a male, she underwent extensive treatment and eventually surgery to become female. The 37-year old fighter was competing in the CFA women's 145-pound tournament where she recently knocked out her opponent in just 39-seconds.  

On her application for a fight license, Fox had not disclosed her medical status as a transgender female. 

Upon further review, the Florida commission didn't believe there was enough information to support further action.

"The evidence does not support prosecution of the specified violations of Chapter 548, Florida Statutes, or the rules promulgated thereunder. Therefore this case should be closed," read a statement by Roger Maas, Assistant General Counsel to the Florida commission.

The MMA world has been buzzing ever since she revealed her transgender status with everyone from UFC commentator Joe Rogan to former Strikeforce champion Miesha Tate weighing in on the subject of whether Fox should be allowed to fight women having been born a man.

While several doctors have argued the point of Fox's body chemistry as to whether or not she should be allowed to fight, the decision to allow her license to remain in tact ultimately came down to the Florida commission who will oversee her next scheduled fight.

That decision has now been made and Fox is cleared and her license remains valid.  Her next opponent is scheduled to be 2-1 fighter Allana Jones, who stated as of earlier this week that she would face Fox in the next round of the tournament in May.

The finals of the tournament could come into some question however as Peggy Morgan, who sits on the other side of the bracket opposite of Fox, has stated that she will not face her should the two of them be paired together in the finals of the tournament.

"I do not think there is sufficient hard evidence to show that Fallon does not have physical advantages over the women she has fought," Morgan said in a statement via her management's website.  "I understand why people are advocating for Fallon and I appreciate that it is important to protect her rights, but I think it should be just as important to protect the safety of the other women in the tournament. Until I am presented with conclusive evidence that a fight with Fallon would, in fact, be fair, I will not be entering the cage with her."

The CFA tournament will continue regardless with their next event in late May and now Fox has been officially cleared to return to action for her next fight regardless of who she may or may not face if she makes it to the tournament finals.

Arrangements are lining up for Fallon Fox and her next MMA bout, as she'll reportedly face regional fighter Allanna Jones in the Championship Fighting Alliance on May 24.

MMA Fighting recently spoke with the CEO of the Florida-based promotion, Jorge De La Noval, who stated that Jones didn't immediately take the bout:

"Everyone's following the story on Fallon obviously because of the controversy, but, the fact Allanna is stepping up and taking it is huge," [Noval] said.

De La Noval said he has spoken with Jones several times in the past week as she weighed her decision. He said that she was always in favor of taking the bout, but first wanted to hear the concerns of her coaches and managers.

Outed as a 37-year-old male-to-female transgendered athlete, Fox's name has been widely circulated around the Internet during the last few weeks.

Stemming from a Sports Illustrated article from veteran MMA journalist Loretta Hunt, the controversy around Fox's original gender is well-known both inside and outside the sport.

Some argue that Fox has natural physical advantages due to growing up male and transitioning early in her 30s, while others debate the opposite due to the various heath risks involved with her physical changes.

Due to the unusual implications of Fox's medical history and past paperwork, her fighter's license is currently under review by the Florida State Boxing Commission.

The FSBC is expected to make a ruling soon, although Fox will not be barred from competition unless the commission decides to intervene.

Either way, De La Noval tells MMA Fighting that any sudden legal issues with FSBC won't dramatically affect the CFA's next event, as the card has plenty of other talent available besides the company's famous/infamous transgendered fighter.

To be honest, we're not basing our next event on that specific fight. We have such a strong fight card that if it drops, well, we know we can't base the card on one fight. It is what it is. If she gets licensed, she will fight. And if she doesn't, she won't. We have a very strong card.

CFA 11 will be held at the BankUnited Center in Coral Gables, Fla., featuring a match between Strikeforce veterans Mike Kyle and Valentijn Overeem.

There will also be a continuation of CFA's all-women's tournament, which will also award the winner with the company's 145-pound women's championship title and a $20,000 cash prize. Aside from Fox and Jones, the semifinals also include Peggy Morgan vs. Ashlee Evans-Smith.

CFA originally announced Fox vs. Jones on April 1 via Twitter, but the bout has only recently been reconfirmed in the wake of Fox's license issues.

Notably, Allanna "Hands of Stone" Jones will be the most experienced fighter that Fallon Fox has faced so far, carrying a 2-1 professional MMA record and 6-2 amateur ledger. By contrast, Fox is undefeated at 2-0 with a single amateur victory.

Minnesota's Ben "The Baker" Neumann returns to the cage on Saturday night, March 23, for Driller Promotions/Sterling Entertainment Group's Havoc at High Five 5. He'll be competing in the main event of the 10-fight card which is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. CST at the High Five Bar & Grill in Burnsville, Minn.

Neumann spoke with Bleacher Report MMA at the weigh-ins about his opponent, Steve Merth, who is making his return to the cage after over three years out of active competition. Although Merth hasn't competed since 2010, his reputation precedes him, at least in Neumann's eyes.

"I’m always trying to get tough fights from Jeremy [Bjornberg] (Driller Promotions matchmaker), so this is a very tough fight," he said. "It’s my first opponent who’s a really strong wrestler. Those guys are always tough even if it’s not on the ground; they’re just mentally tough guys. You have to break those guys. You have to submit them; they’re not going to quit on you.”

Because it has been awhile since Merth last fought, Neumann did admit that it has been somewhat difficult to prepare for his task on Saturday night.  

"This one is kind of tricky because I don't think he's fought since 2010, so I don't know if he's been training hard for three years, if he took two years off and has been training for one year," he said. "I've only been training for about six years total, so imagine the fighter I was three years ago. It's very different from the fighter I am now.

"He seems like more of a wrestler and a boxer, doesn’t seem to throw a lot of kicks but, of course, that could have changed over the last few years.”

Neumann noted that the difference in his opponent's skill set could be drastic and explained that he, himself has been through a mental overhaul over the past year. 

"I’ve never been in a fight outside the cage," he said. "You couldn’t get me to fight outside of a cage. I was robbed at gunpoint once and at one point during it, I was thinking about taking the guy out. Then I thought, ‘Do I really want to kill someone over 100 bucks?’"

The mental switch needed from being a "nice guy" outside the cage to becoming a fighter in the cage didn't come naturally for Neumann. He comes from a self-defense background, and being the aggressor is something that has taken time. 

"In my first few fights, I think I trained a lot more than my opponents and so it didn’t matter too much that I wasn’t able to flip the switch," he said. "Then I got to opponents that were a little harder and I think I was putting myself at a disadvantage, not being ready to commit to finishing. If I have a heel hook, not wanting to break the guy’s leg…I need to be ready to break his leg."

Those who have met Neumann would tell you that he is truly one of the most courteous, gentle human beings in the entire sport. Although that has certainly helped him build one of the biggest fanbases in the state, he also knows that it has made things a little more challenging for him inside the cage.

“If you’re a nice guy outside the cage, I think it’s harder sometimes," he said. "Other people are holding back, in general society, from trying to hurt people. Whereas me, I’m trying to bump it up a level when I go in there. So I think they have it easier in that respect.” 

That "nice guy" attitude may have played a big part in the back-to-back losses Neumann suffered in 2012 at the hands of Billy Christianson and Cody Pasquale. While he was physically prepared to fight, his mental game might not have been where he wanted it to be.

“I think I lost two fights where I had the skills to win those fights and I didn’t," Neumann said. “But I felt very focused for my last fight and I think I’ll have that focus again.”

At 27 years old, Neumann is still growing as a martial artist and is committed to becoming a more well-rounded competitor between fights. Unfortunately the schedule he's been on of fighting about every four months has not left quite as much time for him to improve certain areas of his game as he would like.

“I do want to take a short break, maybe six months, before my next fight," Neumann said. “For my next six months, I really want to work on my flexibility because I feel like I’ve really limited myself. I’m flexible in some areas, but for my kicks, height and speed is limited because I have poor hip flexibility."

Although he has a goal of eventually reaching the national level of the sport, Neumann is in no hurry to get there before he's ready. 

“My goal is to fight until I’m 35, 36…that’s like seven or eight years," he said. "I’d rather not make it to a big promotion right away if I’m not ready yet. I’d rather develop and feel that I’m unstoppable.”

A big step toward that goal of fighting for a larger promotion would be a win over local legend Steve Merth on Saturday night. Merth's time out of the cage is a big wild card in this one, but Neumann does think he at least has something to go off of.

“It seems like he’s more comfortable from a very close standing space, tight boxing. I’m more comfortable from a distance," Neumann said. "So if I can keep him at range and use my length, I think I can frustrate him outside. Then if he gets in close, I’m comfortable on the ground, too. I have no idea where it’ll finish, but most likely on the ground. I’ve never knocked anyone out before, so it’ll probably be on the ground somewhere.”

"The Baker" nearly sold out the High Five Bar & Grill with friends and family ready to cheer him on, but those interested in watching the event are invited to watch the free live stream of Havoc at High Five, beginning at 6:30 p.m. CST on March 23. 

Saturday night could prove to be one of the biggest nights of the year for mixed martial arts in Minnesota, as Driller Promotions and the Sterling Entertainment Group present Havoc at High Five in Burnsville, Minn.

The show, which is expected to sell out at the door, features an action-packed fight card, including the Driller Promotions amateur featherweight championship bout between Sean Richman and Nick Spina. 

Richman spoke with Bleacher Report MMA after the weigh-ins on Friday afternoon and told us how he's feeling leading into the fight.

“I just can’t wait. The anxiety has set in and I’m just ready to fight and put on a good show,” he said. “The scale is generous, so I was even more under [the required weight] than what I had thought. I was at like 143. It was a zero pound allowance because it’s a title fight so I took it very seriously.”

As the younger brother of Bellator featherweight finalist Mike "The Marine" Richman, Sean Richman has been working to make a name for himself, but has certainly felt the pressure of living up to the expectations of carrying the family name.

“I feel like ever since I started, I’ve always had pressure on me," he said. "I have a huge hype to live up to with my brother and the success he’s had. Everybody looks at me and I’m supposed to be ‘the next’ him. Even my first fight was a co-main event."

With the amateur title fight and another co-main event slot, Richman is not quite as nervous going into this bout, and believes he can take whatever nerves he does have and turn them into a positive.

"I feel like with the pressure, I’ve kind of been able to shift that over into motivation and to seek out what I’m supposed to be, rather than let it eat me up and screw up my performance.”

Richman has been very successful thus far in his career—4-0 as an amateur—but still hasn't necessarily been satisfied with past performances. In his previous bout against Angel Pacheco in December 2012, he felt his conditioning wasn't at the level he wanted it to be at. He decided to change that and began working to correct that part of his game.

“My last performance wasn’t my best. I felt like I was a little gassed in that last fight, so I went to Horsepower in Fridley with Matt Miller, who’s helped me a great amount with my conditioning and strength," he said. “It’s going to show tomorrow night. I’m in phenomenal shape right now.”

He'll be up against Spina, one of the most experienced amateur MMA fighters in the state, who could give Richman the toughest fight he's had thus far.

“He’s very experienced, he’s 8-3-1. He’s a tough dude," Richman said of his opponent. “Maybe a little better ground game than anything else of his but we’ll see tomorrow what he’s got.”

Spina's ground game is something that has earned him quite a few wins already. In fact, half of his wins have come by way of submission on the ground, many of which have come from his back. Richman is well aware of the threats Spina brings, but believes he has the skills to win the fight.

 “Wherever the fight goes, I feel like I have the advantage," he said.

The title fight will take place Saturday night, March 23, from the High Five Bar and Grill. A limited number of tickets are available, but those interested can also watch Driller Promotions / Sterling Entertainment Group "Havoc at High Five" on LiveStream.com. 

The very best of mixed martial arts in Minnesota returns on Saturday night as Driller Promotions and Sterling Entertainment Group present Havoc at High Five in Burnsville, MN.

With the show expected to be sold out, demand has been coming in for a live stream of the event featuring the return of lightweight Steve Merth as he challenges Ben Neumann in the main event. The free live stream, presented by Level Up Multimedia, will begin at 6:30pm CST on LiveStream.com.

Merth, who is making his return to fighting after three years away from the cage, will get right back into the swing of things against one of the better lightweights in the state, Ben "The Baker" Neumann. Despite spending quite awhile away from active competition, Merth is well-respected as a high level opponent as he his only loss in his career came against UFC veteran Jacob Volkmann.

Neumann will be looking to build off of his win over Ben Miller in this past November. He had previously dropped two straight bouts to Billy Christianson and Cody Pasquale, but has continued to look for tough fights against quality opponents—Merth certainly fits that bill.

The full fight card includes 10 fights, most of which are expected to be very competitive.

Before Georges St-Pierre made it to the UFC, he started out in promotions like TKO and Universal Combat Challenge in his home country of Canada. The same can be said for current UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, who cut his teeth in regional shows like Battle Cage Xtreme.

Virtually every fighter that's in the UFC or Bellator now started somewhere else with a promotion that looked to build young talent and prepare them for the next part of their careers so they could perform on the biggest stages under the brightest lights.

The Resurrection Fighting Alliance hopes to brand itself as the premiere league that will breed and grow the best up-and-coming talent in the MMA world.

Headed up by famed MMA manager Ed Soares, the RFA is quickly becoming the home to many top prospects in the sport.  The goal, according to the promotion's president, is to make opportunities for the best young fighters in MMA and to give them a home as they develop into the superstars of tomorrow.

"We're out there trying to create more opportunities for fighters," Soares told Bleacher Report.   "Sven (Bean) has been in the business a long time, I've been in the business a long time, everyone involved has been in the business for a long time.  At the end of the day, we're fans of the sport and we've worked at every angle of the sport and we just try to do the best that we can."

While the RFA did recently sign a multi-fight television deal with AXS TV, they aren't trying to match other promotions dollar for dollar when it comes to huge over-the-top shows.  They are building from the ground up, and slowly but surely they believe they can be a success in the difficult business of MMA.

"We're going to build this step by step.  We don't have some big money investor behind us, not yet, and even if we did we're going to be very smart and we're going to build it one step at a time.  I don't know if it's the right plan, but it's the plan that we're doing and it's the plan that's going to work in the long run," Soares stated.   "Because I'm not just trying to do one or two events and create a bunch of hype. I really want to create an opportunity to start developing fighters and become what Tuesday Night Fights on USA where the guys got built up big enough to go to the big pay-per-view shows or go to a bigger show."

The talent pool at RFA is already pretty deep and it's only growing with each show.  They've already landed some famous names with fighters like rising star Sergio Pettis (younger brother of UFC featherweight contender Anthony Pettis), and will soon feature Chinzo Machida, the older sibling of former UFC champion Lyoto Machida. 

Add to that names like undefeated Ohio State All-American Lance Palmer and upcoming headliner Brandon Thatch, who put in work with UFC champion Georges St-Pierre recently, and the RFA is quickly becoming the go-to promotion for the best young talent.

"That's what we want to do.  We want do develop new talent," said Soares.

The plan for 2013 is for the RFA to do between eight and 10 shows total, and with each card they are adding new talent to the roster.  The developmental process isn't something that happens overnight, but Soares believes a slow and steady approach will eventually prove that their competitors are destined to be future champions in promotions like the UFC.

"It's not going to be built overnight.  It's not going to be built in two or three shows," said Soares.   "We have to slowly build it up, make a strong foundation and the strong foundation will make everything better."

The next RFA show will air on AXS TV on Friday night from Denver, Colarado, and tickets are still available for the event.

Canadian mixed martial arts fans were hit hard yesterday with the news that The Score Fighting Series will cease operations going forward.

SFS matchmaker Alex Caporicci tweeted this out yesterday.

Disappointing few days. Saddened about SFS and just wish we had a chance to show what we could do cause we were building something special."

The tweet drew an immediate response by many MMA fans in Canada, Ontario in particular. In a hunt to verify the news, I found this brief announcement on topmmanews. This story was in the rumour section of the site and without Caporicci's cryptic tweet, would not hold very much weight, with no real sources given.

I contacted Score Media Inc. community PR supervisor James Bigg, and he responded that the reports of their demise are premature and no official decision has been made on the future of the promotion yet.

The following press release was posted on the SFS' Facebook page today:

 No Decision Made on the Future of the SFS

- The Score Television Network continues to assess the promotion

TORONTO, January 30, 2013 – Contrary to reports, no decision has been made regarding the future of The Score Fighting Series (SFS).

We can confirm personnel changes were made this week in relation to the SFS. The Score will continue to assess the future of the SFS on an ongoing basis.

To clarify, Rogers Media plays no part in the operations of The Score Television Network (The Score). The Score is currently operating in trust until the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission approves its acquisition by Rogers Media. All decisions affecting the network and SFS are made by the management and trustee of The Score.

The Score Fighting Series was born in June of 2011, and has held seven shows in Ontario to date, in Hamilton, Sarnia and Brampton. SFS has provided many up-and-coming fighters the opportunity to gain experience and exposure in the MMA world and has contributed to many Canadian fighters getting signed by the UFC.

UFC fighters Chris Clements, Antonio Carvalho and Jordan Mein have all fought in the promotion before being signed by the big show. The Score has also showcased some of the best rising fighters in the game, such as Josh Hill, Jesse Ronson, Alex Ricci, Rick Glenn, Jason Saggo and Chris Horodecki, among many others.

Eleven-time UFC and WEC veteran Brock Larson will make his return to television on Friday night, as he battles former Strikeforce Challenger Eduardo Pamplona as part of AXS TV's Resurrection Fighting Alliance 6 fight card.

After purchasing Titan Fighting Championships in October 2012, the RFA has continued to grow and put on quality events. RFA 6 will take place at the Scottish Rite Temple in Kansas City. 

Larson, founder of the Minnesota MMA promotion Cage Fighting Xtreme (CFX) has been in battles with the likes of Mike Pyle, Jon Fitch, Mike Piece and Carlos Condit throughout his career. At 35 years old, he is still competing at a high level and will look to build on the back-to-back wins he had to close out 2012 against Lucas St. Claire and Anthony Lemon. 

Larson's opponent will be Black House MMA's Eduardo Pamplona, a veteran who has fought all around the world while training with some of the greats in the world, including Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida and the Nogueira brothers. 

Joining Larson on the fight card will be two fellow Minnesotans who will be making their television debuts, Nick Compton and Mike Waverek.

For Compton, the move up to the big show has been a long time coming. A finalist for 2012 MNMMANews Fighter of the Year and winner of Most Improved Fighter of the Year, Compton will head to RFA with a 6-2 professional record after a very impressive year.

Things started off tough for Compton in 2012 as he lost a very close split-decision to another one of Minnesota's top up-and-comers, Damion Hill, but it only seemed to motivate him. He remained very active for the remainder of the year, defeating Bobby Ferrier, Billy Christianson and Randy Kittelson before 2012 came to a close. 

Compton will battle Bobby Cooper, replacing his own teammate, Dan Moret, who was forced out of the bout due to an injury.

Cooper is considered one of the RFA's top prospects, holding a professional record of 7-4. He's already been challenged by some of the other top up-and-comers in the area, including Chidi Njokuani (younger brother of UFC fighter Anthony Njokuani). It will be a step up in competition for Compton who, at 30 years old, is still looking to make a name for himself in the sport on the national level. 

Mikey Waverek will also get a chance to make his name on a bigger stage, having put together a 6-2-1 record as an amateur thus far. A well-conditioned fighter, Waverek has spent much of his amateur career competing at 160 and even 165 pounds, but will settle into his natural weight class of 155 in this one. 

As a young fighter, Waverek has used his high-quality wrestling skills and raw power to control many of his opponents. His bruising style earned him an impressive first round TKO win over Jurrell Skelton this past November. He'll have his sights set on doing that against undefeated (4-0) Kansas native Dusty Spaulding. 

Spaulding, 4-0 as an amateur, has competed mostly in the 145-pound division, which should mean that Waverek has a significant advantage in terms of size and strength. Spaulding is a tough fighter with solid grappling, however, and he has experience in the RFA cage. This will be an interesting challenge for the Minnesotan who has his sights on making his pro debut in 2013.

All of these fights and others will take place as part of the Resurrection Fighting Alliance 6 event on Friday, January 18th. The event will be shown live at 9pm CST on AXS TV.
