UFC 157...
UFC 157 was an event in time that will long be remembered for its best reasons. First off, UFC had its first women's fight and to boot they made it the headlining fight of the night. Let's face it, some fans may have been suspicious but think back to when EliteXC has its "Destiny" event (wow, feels like a long time ago now) and Gina Carano fought Julie Kedzie on the main card. So many fans were worried about a women's fight then and look at history now, that event isn't remembered mostly for the fights by the men on the card, it's remembered for the Carano/Kedzie fight which was fireworks. Now, it was UFC's turn at making history and in a big way.

Robbie Lawler was making his UFC return after being away for over 8 years. Those of us that can remember him can recall a Welterweight who had absolute dynamite in his hands but his time in the UFC ended after two defeats. He's kept busy since leaving fighting in the other organizations but most fans today will remember him...

UFC 157 ONE OF THE WORST EVENTS OF LATE

I found all the fights real yawn-fests except for Burrel vs. Villefort and Rousey vs. Carmouche. Both those fights were quite entertaining. Not to come off as a sexist, but I was very leery about seeing women fight in the UFC. I guess, as a guy, I instinctively want to see women safe and not getting their faces smashed-in in a brutal combat sport. But Rousey and Carmouche changed my mind. Both are such awesome athletes, and were so game, and put on such an amazing fight... that I guess I wasn't looking upon them as just women, but rather viewing them as incredible MMA fighters. So serious props to them.

I do want to echo some of the other reviewers' complaints about the lack of DVD extras. Given that it was the debut women's fight in the UFC, I was looking forward to seeing a lot of specials and...
