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.

Manny Gamburyan was expected to face Chad Mendes at the event; however, Gamburyan was forced out of the bout with a thumb injury. Mendes was then pulled from the card as a suitable replacement could not be found on short notice. As a result, the bout between Court McGee and Josh Neer was promoted to the main card.
