Background
The headline bout between Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche will be the first-ever women's fight in UFC history. The two will be fighting in the newly created 135-pound bantamweight division. USA Today Cristiane Santos would have been a better match for Rousey, but the UFC President Dana White noted that UFC was unable to strike a deal with Santos. Liz Carmouche is the first openly gay fighter to be signed to the UFC, and landed the headlining fight opposite Rousey after a successful social media campaign to persuade UFC promoter Dana White .
