Liz Carmouche has already been part of a lot of firsts in UFC history, and she’s only one fight into her tenure with the promotion. She was in the first women’s title fight, the first women’s bout to headline a pay-per-view, and the first women’s bout to take place in the Octagon. Now that she’s fought current UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey , she’s moving on to become one of the first two women to fight on Fox. Carmouche was originally slated to face Miesha Tate at UFC on Fox 8 on July 27 in Seattle, but Tate was called on to coach opposite Rousey on TUF 18 when Cat Zingano had to withdraw from the job due to a severe knee injury. Carmouche will now face promotional newcomer Jessica Andrade at UFC on Fox 8. The new bout was first reported by MMAFighting.com . She (8-3) may have failed in her bid to wrest the belt from Rousey, but Carmouche came as close as anyone ever has to derailing the Rousey train. She eventually succumbed to the same submission as the rest of the UFC women’s bantamweight champion’s opponents, but she’ll get the opportunity to redeem herself in Seattle.
