It was the first – and to date, biggest – women’s fight in UFC history. It also nearly ended Ronda Rousey‘s undefeated run.
In February’s UFC 157 headliner, the UFC launched its 135-pound women’s division, but newly crowned champ Rousey nearly experienced disaster at the forearms of scrappy underdog Liz Carmouche.
Check out the clip, which is available as part of the “UFC Ultimate Fight Collection 2013,” a 20-disc DVD set from UFC video partner Anchor Bay that is available Nov. 5.
To date it remains the closest anyone has come to finishing Rousey, but the Olympic medalist quickly rallied back and secured her trademark armbar to move her pro record to 7-0. Every one of her opponents has submitted due to the same maneuver.
Check out the clip above, and then watch Rousey (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) in action on Dec. 28, when she rematches her rival coach from “The Ultimate Fighter 18,” Miesha Tate (13-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC), in UFC 168's pay-per-view co-headliner.
