That was undoubtedly one of the greatest fights I've ever seen, it doesn't matter what gender you are. Liz had that fight won and Rousey somehow came back. That was incredible.

Liz is such a good fighter as well, that choke would have ko'd most men.

That was everything I thought it would be Carmouche putting on a great effort and pushing Rousey to the limit and of course the arm bar finish. I am really glad I got to watch this event looks like the ladies are going to be embraced by the fans and I look forward to watching them foe years to come.

That was a great fight. It was nice to see Rousey face some adversity for once. I'm definitely looking forward to Carmouche's next fight.

I'm surprised how good entire card ended up being.  Pretty much agree with everyone... it was nice to see how Rousey does under adversity.
