Ronda Rousey meets Liz Carmouche in first UFC women's title fight at UFC 157

I think this also makes Liz Carmouche the first openly gay fighter in the UFC.

Uhh...

And this is a weak ass main event. They better stack the shit out of this card.

That's the main event .......

Neg me all you want but this is a joke main event, especially when Hendo vs. Machida is on the card.

When has a title fight ever been under a non title fight in the UFC? It's not like it bumped Machida-Hendo off the card. Does the order of the fights really take away from the quality of the card? No, not at all.

It's a women's title nobody gives a fuck about it.

Even more bullshit now because Hendo vs. Machida won't be five rounds.

You're a fucking moron and not a true fan if fight order takes away from your enjoyment.

Not a true fight fan ok then so I guess me staying up all night this Saturday to watch Fox 5 and Pac vs. Marquez on a shitty stream is just for shits and giggles.

You don't have to like or enjoy WMMA to be a true fight fan.

If the order of the fights takes away from your enjoyment of the card. You are a moron. Does it really matter if you don't watch the WMMA fight at the beginning of the card rather then the end? Just turn off the PPV early rather then tuning in late. The other fights are still going to happen. You fucking idiot.

I never said it will take away my enjoyment you dumb redneck. It's a shitty main event and it's disrespectful to a fighter of Henderson's stature to be eclipsed by a title that's just been materliazed for a fighter who's not even won that title in the UFC.

She got her title the same way Jose Aldo did. Like it or it's an UFC title. Title fights are never under non title fights. It's not disrespectful to anyone.

I think I am going to side with Ali here. My beef with Ronda headlining the main event is not a issue of fight order. I love WMMA and a good fight is good fight no matter what sex. The real main issue is that Machida vs Hendo is now degraded to a only a 3 round fight which I think is a crime. I could see if it was Cyborg vs. Ronda, but Liz Carmouche? Everyone and there brother knows this fight is going to be over in two seconds...why waste a potential FOTY five round fight with Hendo and Machida for a fight designed to make Ronda look dominate and not be competive? Ronda vs Liz could easily be put on a FX or Fox card.

I could completely understand if it was Ronda vs. Cyborg, there's no doubt that fight deserves to headline a card.

This should of headlined the Fuel Card and Barao vs McDonald should headline the PPV.

lol that would go down a storm in London.

Barao vs McDonald as a Fuel fight is a joke.

I agree it deserves a bigger platform but the UK is due a title fight.

I agree 100%. But IMO it has nothing to do with Ronda's title fight. Except the UFC got shit wrong with when and where the title fights should take place.

Feb 23rd, live on PPV from Anaheim, CA:

Ronda Rousey vs. Liz Carmouche
Dan Henderson vs. Lyoto Machida
Urijah Faber vs. Ivan Menjivar
Lavar Johnson vs. Brendan Schaub
Neil Magny vs. Jon Manley

i don't really give a fuck about the fight order as i'm not the mug who'll be wasting my hard earned on rousey merchendise.

however, dana did once say women wouldn't be in the UFC because the quality of fighting and depth of competition wasn't good enough and i don't really see how anything has changed in that regard.

He lies more often then he tells the truth. That's just Dana.

He's just cashing in right now because Ronda is very marketable.
