Well
They’ve got fighters, and they’ve got events. They get them together (mostly), and they’re on TV so it’s not all bad.. it’s just that the way the business is run is so second-rate compared to other organizations.

![I'm not sure if they haven't realized, even though we kind of mentioned [before the Hashi fight], 'Hey, this is my last fight,' or they have so much going on that they kind of forgot about it. I don't really know," Kaufman said. "As I say, I don't want to walk away from Strikeforce by any means. I think they have done a good job of getting the females out there, it just needs to be a little more often for me. I'm just getting a crazy a little bit. I understand when you get higher up and to the top, you do have to wait for other people to make their way up to challenge you, but I don't think that needs to take a year. Hopefully they get on board and kind of realize, 'Hey, we made a mistake and you finished without a contract, and we need to get that sorted out quick.'"
"I'm put in a tough boat because they're sorting things out, but in the mean time I don't want to sit inactive," Kaufman said. "I don't want one fight a year. I've been approached by a few different organizations that are interested in picking me up or having me fight for them at least, I do have a loyalty and I believe in that towards Strikeforce, so I think my manager and coach Adam [Zugec] are just letting them know where we stand and that I need to stay active and I can't fight just once a year. If they want to have a new contract where they loan me out to other organizations where I get to fight more often, that would probably be the best for me."
