I'll start this off by saying I only watched the co-main event and the main event. UFC's grown to a point where I could care less to watch the prelims and fights that aren't hyped. UFC 157 is the first UFC to feature women. Before we get there lets just recap the co main:
The co main event featured Brazilian Lyoto "the dragon" Machida vs. American Dan Henderson. This was probably the most boring fight I've ever watched. I personally can't stand Machida's style of fighting all this running around it's quite sissy to me to be honest, but to each there own. Both Henderson and Machida came out fighting, there were kicks here and there, couple take downs but nothing really worth yelling at my TV about. Closer to the end of the first round it looked like Machida could've finished but alas no victory. In my opinion Henderson should've won that fight he was on the offensive far more. He also caught Machida in a nice take down in the third round I believe it was. However, UFC judges gave the win to Machida by split decision.
Rousey came out swinging like a mad woman throwing punches left, right and centre. Carmouche responded by jumping on her back and attempted going for what looked like a standing rear naked choke, at this point I had all the marbles on Carmouche to finish the fight there but BOOM, Rousey swings her off like a ragdoll and proceeds one of the nicest ground and pound's I've ever seen in the UFC. Carmouches face was left bloodshot red, and in the end Rousey managed to get an arm off Carmouche and won by arm bar.
TO SUMMARIZE:
Lyoto Machida wins against Dan Henderson by Split Decision
Ronda Rousey wins against Liz Carmouche by Arm Bar in the 1st Round to retain the Women's Bantam weight title.
What do you guys think about the fight? Are you looking forward to seeing more women fights? I am.
