Women’s fighting in the UFC took another huge step in Vegas as the year continues to come to a close. It wasn’t long ago that women in the UFC were not even thought of as the executives at the promotion refused to consider them.

Aside from Rousey though, the division has shown its true colours putting on close fights that have been some of the best on every card they are involved in.
