UFC 157: Fight Card

UFC 157 takes place this coming Saturday night, February 23rd in Anaheim, California and we’ve got the full fight card for you below.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ll probably already know that the main event will feature the first ever female fight in the UFC as Ronda Rousey takes on Liz Carmouche for the woman’s 135lb title.

Don’t be fooled though – despite all the media hype being behind that fight there’s still a strong line-up of fights to be found elsewhere on this card starting with the co-main event, a major light-heavyweight battle as title shot hopefuls Dan Henderson and Lyoto Machida lock horns.

There’s also featherweight action as former No.1 contender Urijah Faber attempts to get back to winning ways against another veteran campaigner Ivan Menjivar.

Meanwhile Josh Koscheck welcomes Robbie Lawler back to the UFC after a long spell fighting for the Strikeforce organization.

And finally on the main card former TUF winner Court McGee faces Josh ‘The Dentist’ Neer with both men desperately in need of a win after both suffering back-to-back losses in the Octagon recently.
