Ronda Rousey vs. Liz Carmouche Signed For UFC 157 Main Event

UFC president Dana White has announced that Ronda Rousey vs. Liz Carmouche will headline UFC 157.


Rousey won’t be fighting Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos, as Wednesday’s rumor had her meeting. Instead, Rousey (6-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) will be meeting Liz Carmouche (7-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) as the first defense of her new UFC women’s bantamweight title at UFC 157 in February.

UFC 157 takes place Feb. 23 at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. Rousey vs. Carmouche will be the main event of the card, which will air on pay-per-view, FX and Facebook.

Rousey said receiving her UFC championship belt and having the fight announced on the heels of a press conference for Saturday’s card, which features Benson Henderson’s lightweight title defense against Nate Diaz, came as a surprise to her.

Of course she isn’t, cyborg won’t come to her weight. It’ll be an interesting fight, only because ronda is an interesting fighter, not because I think Liz has a chance

I believe that the ppv buys for this card will be significantly lower, I for one do not want to watch this s*** and I’m not alone. Sorry but woman mma hasn’t caught my eye hyst yet.

first I hate this B.. but congrats to her. it is quite the accomplishment. Now she wont fight Cyborg at 145, yet her fat ass looks twice the size of Ben Henderson who fights 155. FK U.. can’t wait for Cyborg to fk her up.

Rousey beat Sarah. I don’t know about main event but I like women’s mma more know since Rhonda and cyborg have beef. I feel bad for the up and coming guys bc this takes a Lil of their spotlight.

I think UFC is out of ideas. I wish for a miracle that Ronda would lose, but chances are about 1%. Bad match up and there’s no weight classes or anything for women, it’s just a fight for entertainment. If you have Zuffa shares now is the time to sell, we have reached the peak.

I said it before,I`ll say it again… Not interested in any female fight…Now ..if they put gyus against girls I might change my mind… I personaly don`t care how good any girs is, those fights are boring to me!

They should just fight in smaller clothes for 2 minute rounds. # minutes too long for crappy fighting

I’m looking forward to the woman’s fights. The girls always bring it when they scrap. So far the Invicta cards have been nonstop action, while the UFC events have been more and more a few good fights mixed in with a lot of boring, stagnant fights. The last Invicta card had 10 stoppages in 14 fights. I doubt that the UFC losing a few fans here and there because of some female fights is something its really concerned about.

Is she the first (0-0) fighter to hold an official belt for an organization? Isn’t there generally a fight for a unification title?

Jose, can you say it one more time? I’m not quite getting how stupid you sound

I think Ronda Rousey vs Urijah Faber is a good match-up :P
