One was that Carmouche stood absolutely no chance against Rousey, who entered the fight as a 12-1 favorite over the little-known underdog from San Diego. The other was that no matter how the fight turned out, it was a historic event that would change both women’s lives forever. At least one of those predictions turned out to be true, in a way. These days Carmouche isn’t exactly a superstar.

You don’t have to be in this business, just like if I want to wake up and eat oatmeal instead of cream of wheat, it’s my choice.” Browne (14-1-1 MMA, 5-1-1 UFC), who next fights Alistair Overeem (36-12 MMA, 1-1 UFC) at UFC on Fox Sports 1 1, chose to walk away from a successful career as a K-9 trainer in San Diego to join the UFC. He’s been a full-time fighter since. The 30-year-old fighter admitted he’s seen lean times during his tenure in the industry-leading promoter and said managers have helped him make ends meet while he pursued his dreams of becoming a champion. “They helped to get me where I’m at now,” he said. Now, though, Browne said his fighting income is on par with what he made in his previous career
