While it doesn't necessarily represent a change to policy regarding women's fights in the promotion, Strikeforce has announced that Friday's women's fight between Shayna Baszler and Sarah Kaufman will be 5-minute rounds. The change was quickly approved by the Washington State Athletic Commission following California allowing 5-minute rounds for Gina Carano vs. Cristiane Santos in August.

Good. This should provide more finishes in female bouts.

Does this mean that we'll get 5-Five minute rounds in the Carano/Cyborg fight? 3 minute rounds are a joke.

Yes, that was announced last week after the CSAC approved it.

Good news. 3 minute rounds are beyond a joke.
This needs to become the norm quickly.

Nice, I get to watch the first ever sanctioned female 5 minute round fight.
With this change, I guess we'll find out at Thursday's weigh-ins if Washington State is allowing the 1 pound over weight limit, as they haven't in the past.
Good change and glad the AC's are getting something right for once.
