In the main event at UFC 157 Ronda Rousey became the first ever woman to defend her UFC women’s bantamweight championship, as she defeated Liz Carmouche in the first round by her signature armbar.
In the co-main event Lyoto Machida defeated Dan Henderson by split decision, which solidified him as the number one contender in the light heavyweight division.
And “The California Kid” Urijah Faber put on a fantastic performance, picking up a rear naked choke against Ivan Menjivar.

Midway through the first, Lyoto started to counter with punches and avoid the powerful shots that Hendrson was throwing.

Faber has been one of the sports superstars for years now and truly did pave the way for the lighter weight divisions. He has not been able to find the same success in the UFC that he had in the WEC but he is always at the top of the division and isn’t going any where anytime soon. He faces veteran Ivan Menjivar this Saturday in what is sure to be an excellent fight.

Machida is one of the toughest guys to figure out, but if you pressure him and keep the pressure on, you have a shot a la Shogun. Can an older Hendo keep that pace? Can’t wait to find out.

The California Kid may have to win tonight if he wants to stay in the UFC according to what Dana White was saying at the pre fight scrum. Urijah is one of those guys that just hasn’t come up big against some of the best like The Dominator and Aldo. I think he wins tonight and keeps his job.
