This coming weekend is something of a celebration for women’s mixed martial arts, with UFC 184 featuring an all-female main and co-main event for the first time in the organisation’s history—not to mention Invicta FC 11 on Friday.
The appeal of UFC 184 may have taken a slight hit with the loss of Chris Weidman vs. Vitor Belfort for the middleweight title, but Saturday night’s card from the Staples Center still has plenty to offer both hardcores and casuals alike.
The main event features the long-awaited contest between Ronda Rousey and Cat Zingano for the UFC women’s bantamweight title. We can also look forward to Holly Holm making her UFC debut against The Ultimate Fighter veteran Raquel Pennington, Jake Ellenberger vs. Josh Koscheck, Alan Jouban vs. Richard Walsh and Tony Ferguson vs. Gleison Tibau.
As ever, Bleacher Report MMA is on hand to guide you through this weekend’s main attraction. Read on for the views of Scott Harris, Craig Amos, Riley Kontek, Sean Smith and yours truly, James MacDonald.
