There are reports that Hendo's knee still isn't ready and that possibly Alex Gustaffson will fight Machida
I guess when the UFC prez is allegedly "hitting that", of course Dana is going to make her the headliner
You hope it tanks just because there is a girl headlining the night? It's not like she took someone else's spot, or that because of her fight, another good fight isn't going to happen. Get a grip, dumbass.
This is not Ronda/Cyborg, this is Ronda and some no name they are dragging off the street to get armbarred.. And Hendo/Machida should be 5 rds, this fight prevents that.. Ronda will not need 1 round to win this fight.. But Machida may need the 4th and 5th to outpoint Hendo..
No it is because Hendo/Machida suffers from this decision..

Fair point, and one that I hadn't thought of. Of course, Machida is going to RNC Hendo in the second round and it will all be moot, but it's still a good point.
Who needs how many rounds is irrelevant
I got Machida in the fight as well but Hendo is known as a fast starter who gasses. We'll see..
This sucks tbh.
Im fine with women's MMA being in the UFC but if they are going to headline a card Then Fuel TV is the place to do it. Bad business decision. Rousey is no joke. Very, very talented, but damn Dana. Let women's MMA build some steam before you put them on a ppv, especially main eventing. If it was against Cyborg then I would be ok with them on the main card...but still not main eventing....Poor, poor decision IMO.
Ronda has become how I can put this sort of Dana's pet project... Why do I get the feeling in 10 years we will be reading about it in an autobiography??
Yeah, pretty funny how quick Dana went from "Women's MMA doesn't have a place in the UFC" to "WMMA headlining a UFC PPV Event"
I mean I am not trying to be sexist, Ronda is a of a fighter but this is Dana White we are talking about... Not exactly a man very high on morals and as you said Dana went from 0-100 on Women’s MMA awful fast.
Carmouche is actually a of a fighter, not just off the street. But it really bothers me that she looks like Urijiah Faber's clone in that poster. They even weigh the same!
And still she looks more female on this poster
Roid up army lesbian easy to sell
I hope Ronda loses - i do not like her. But then again I'd rather Cyborg beats her
If only they put Faber on the same side as Carmouche:
“Ronda is headlining UFC 157. Here is why I have a problem with that. Ronda is the champion of Strikeforce with 6 wins in less than 2 years of a mma professional career. That’s impressive regardless of who she has fought. However, she is not the UFC champion yet. She still has to win this fight to get that belt. On the other hand, we have Hendo, who has also been the Strikeforce champion (never lost the belt), Pride champion in 2 different weight classes; he has been ranked #1 contender for the UFC 205 lbs, and #6 by many pound for pound best fighter. His resume is second to none, moreover, he is fighting a former champion, Lyoto Machida. Now why aren’t they main event? Is Ronda a better market value? I don’t know, but her fight could be quick as usual and we could be missing another historic 5 rds fight between 2 legends and possible hall of famers. I’m not saying she doesn’t deserve to headline an UFC event, but certainly not this one.
…
Where I come from, there’s a pecking order for anything in life. I believe in paying dues. In this particular case, ‘Hendo’ and Machida paid their dues a long time ago. For someone new to come in and have a free ride just seems unfair to them and the whole sport they helped build.”

There is too big of a deal made of this. If UFC wanted to have Hendo vs machida a 5 rounder they would do this. It's not said that they have to be a main event to fight 5 rds.
All in all Ronda is a champion so she is above every other non- le fight.
All in all womens mma is on a lower level then men, so that's why it does not suits me. But whatever. They will not have a success with women as Dana once said there are not enough girls to create a whole division. Now it seems like there are and Dana said it's not gonna be ronda vs xxx. So let's see how many 135 pounders gonna fight.
odd fight to make:
