The Women's Bantamweight division is has just gotten bigger and I will be interested to see how many fighters Dana White eventually signs. I will also be interested to see if he intriduces more than one female weight division.

The two that we already know in the division:

Ronda Rousey


Twenty-six-year-old California native Ronda Rousey (7-0) single-handedly convinced the UFC to implement a women's division by her performances inside the MMA cage. Rousey is a 2008 Olympic judo bronze medalist and has finished all 10 of her mixed martial arts opponents by armbar submission in the first round (7 as pro, 3 as amateur). Rousey is the first-ever UFC women's champion and defeated Liz Carmouche in the UFC 157 main event in her first bantamweight title defense. The sky truly is the limit for Ronda Rousey and she is ushering the UFC into a brand new era.

Liz Carmouche


Liz Carmouche (8-3) is a 29-year-old former U.S. Marine who fought Ronda Rousey at UFC 157 in the first ever women's bout in Ultimate Fighting Championship history. Although Carmouche lost that bout with Rousey, she gave the Olympian her toughest fight to date. Carmouche is also the first openly gay fighter in UFC history. Born in Lafayette, La., Carmouche began fighting professionally in 2010 and won six straight fights in her first year as a pro. She holds notable wins over Kaitlin Young and Jan Finney.
