UFC 157 Results: Ronda Rousey Defeats Liz Carmouche Via First Round Armbar | UFC NEWS
Image Courtesy: MMaFighting.com
History was made tonight at UFC 157, when Ronda Rousey submitted Liz Carmouche in the first round, the same way she has done many times before, in the first round via armbar.
When the first round started it didn’t take long for the two bantamweight women to go after each other. Carmouche took Rousey’s back standing and had a deep neck crank in. Rousey was able to shake Carmouche off and get the fight to the ground. From there Ronda Rousey took over and had side control, landed a bunch of punches and then got mount. Rousey then did what she has done so many times, went for and succeeded in the armbar submission.
You could feel it when Rousey walked out, she was focused, the crowd was on their feet, and it felt like a moment in history you’ll never forget. This was a huge step for women in MMA and also women sports in general. It was a great fight from start to finish and I cannot wait to see the women step in the octagon again.

These two delivered above and beyond what a Hendo vs Machida main event would have. You can learn armbar defense and practice for a few months…but it won’t do anygood against someone who’s been training it her whole life.
worst title fight in ufc history.
I’m so sorry that you are blind…
Dude you are a moron if you honestly think that. It was a great fight and it was back and fourth. Give em some credit….dumb ass.
Mad that Rousey won and now everyone is MORE all over her clit, and no credit went to Carmouche for putting up a fight. But at least now WMMA can evolve and bring women to become fans and train for something more. This isn’t just going to bring women to the fan base, but help male fighters get more fans, and help the UFC surpass it’s expectations.Congrats to Rousey and Carmouche for putting up a better fight than Hendo/Machida.
Liz is getting an extreme amount of support… you just need to watch and read.
listen, its just fact. if you have a problem with women in the UFC or women doing sports professionally, its because you are obviously afraid of women. plain and simple.
get over it.

#carmouche
You know, times are changing. Ladies can do stuff now and you’re going to learn how to deal with it.
i’m sorry i dont speak spanish!!
i disagree. sexist, much?
Great Job Ronda, amazing fight, even better that Lyoto and Henderson’s fight for sure. Is Ronda still dating Kevin http://fabwags.com/ronda-rousey-boyfriend-and-trainer-is-henry-akins/ and Liz is dating this girl http://slimcelebrity.com/celebrity-athletes/who-is-liz-carmouches-girlfriend/, didn’t see neither of them in the audience
Well I’m sad for you turdpackers that had your ****-watching interrupted for one fight so history could be made. Why are hispanic men always the most sexist it’s no wonder hispanic men are so beat-down and pointless.
WHOA! Ain’t got to bring race in the picture
women suck, that’s why ‘no can defend’ same move over and over. I’m not being sexist here – I have just fought many many women and I always win. hahahaha
great fight
Call her a one trick pony all you want. It’s working, why bother with anything else? Rousey is kicking ass.
Ps. Tate Fan
One trick pony!!!!!!!!!!
One trick pony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone see Ronda bite Liz’s arm? Liz showed it after the fight and I’m surprised none of these MMA sites are reporting..
What!?… no didn’t see that. Well I guess she’s a two trick pony!
Rondas mouthpiece fell out and Liz had a Neck crank and her forearm just muscled its way into rondas mouth.
watch the post press conference.
Makes sense.. thanks for the info.
As expected, it shouldn’t have been the main event. Machida Hendo should have had 5 rounds, one or the other would have been knocked out. What the point of having 5 rounds for women when we know it would be finished in the first round?
I’m glad i didn’t pay for this. UFC is getting worse, flyweight, now women, what’s next? trans midget? what a circus
This all BS by the UFC. They need to build buzz for women fighting and there is no way did they want Rousey to lose to anybody. You think they would want to promote some tiny lesbo as a champ??!! That’s why they choose Carmouche. This girl had no chance. How can Dana choose a real opponent for Rosuey where all of Carmouche’s wins were against fighters that didn’t even have winning records and the 2 she lost 2 prior to Rousey did have winning records, In other words, Carmouche sucks and that is what the UFC wanted for their golden girl. Now if they are legit, they get Cyborg in there. Just make it a 140 weight division. **** this 135 arbitrary weight class crap.
Carmouche almost finished Ronda… She had her in more trouble than any of Ronda’s other opponents have…
Are you kidding me? Rousey was NEVER in trouble with that head crank. Get real bro….
dude GRT3000 is a **** up. Good fight by the women. They deserve the credit. Best of luck to them. GRT3000 is a little tranny puss. Good job Rhonda and Liz!
lmao
