Liz Carmouche and her fanbase known as the “Lizbos” will descend upon the Honda Center in Anaheim this Saturday night for the UFC 157 main event between Carmouche and Ronda Rousey.

If I have any pulse on the MMA fans, especially here at Bleacher Report, it’s a general consensus that they are tired of reading article after article about Rousey and her armbar. Many will tune in Saturday night with the hope of seeing Carmouche make a case for early upset of the year.

I’m not going to say who I want to win this fight, but I will give you three reasons you should side with Carmouche.
