Ladies first!
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will make history in less than two months when it not only breaks ground in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, but does it with a women's championship doubleheader inside the 60,000-seat Etihad Stadium.
That's where reigning women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey squares off against unbeaten 135-pound No. 1 contender Holly Holm. In the five-round championship co-main event, strawweight roost ruler Joanna Jedrzejczyk puts her 115-pound strap up for grabs against the venerable Valerie Letourneau.
Watch all four ladies face off at Wednesday's UFC 193 pre-fight press conference here.
"What makes Holly such an intriguing challenger for me is that I've been watching her since the day she started in the ring," Rousey said during today's media festivities. "I have known that our paths were going to cross at some point. I know that if there's a 19-time boxing world champion coming into my sport, I have my eye on her."
