Sarah Kaufman ’s lightweight debut went about as smoothly as possible Thursday when she dominated her first fight of the PFL season. Kaufman (21-4) earned six points in the women’s lightweight standings when she submitted Morgan Frier (4-1) with an arm-triangle choke in the opening round at PFL 2019, Week 1. The former Strikeforce women’s bantamweight champ moved up to 155 pounds for the first time and was able to use her experience to take down the larger Frier before advancing into position to finish the fight. Check out the highlight below (via Twitter ): Kaufman has struggled to find fights since she parted ways with the UFC in December 2015. She captured the Invicta FC bantamweight title in the meantime, but said joining PFL was a “crazy opportunity” she wanted to take advantage of.
