UFC 157: Rousey vs. Carmouche was a mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on February 23, 2013, at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.[3]

Background

The headline bout between

Strikeforce Women's Bantamweight Champion.[6]

Manny Gamburyan was expected to face Chad Mendes at the event; however, Gamburyan was forced out of the bout with a thumb and elbow injury.[7] Mendes was then pulled from the card as a suitable replacement could not be found on short notice.[8] As a result, the bout between Court McGee and Josh Neer was promoted to the main card.

At the weigh-ins, Nah-Shon Burrell came into his bout with Yuri Villefort heavy, weighing in at 175.8 lb. Villefort had already agreed in advance to a catchweight bout and received a portion of Burrell's purse.[9]

15,525 people purchased tickets to watch the event at the arena, and there were 450,000 pay-per-view buys.[10]
