UFC 157: Carmouche vs Rousey Odds
Published on February 16th, 2013 1:55 pm ESTOn Saturday, February 23rd, history will be made as Ronda Rousey will defend her Women's Bantamweight title against Liz Carmouche in the main event of UFC 157. This will be the first time in the history of the UFC that two women have squared off against each other in the Octagon.
Another intriguing fight is Lyoto Machida vs Dan Henderson in the co-main event. The winner of this fight will very likely square off against the winner of Jon Jones vs Chael Sonnen, which is set to take place at UFC 159. Henderson and Machida both had opportunities to fight for the Light Heavyweight title in 2012, with Henderson pulling out of UFC 151 due to injury and Machida deciding not to fill in against Jones at UFC 152.
