UFC President Dana White once said that women would never fight in the octagon. Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche changed that. Five years ago today, on Feb. 23, 2013 at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., Rousey and Carmouche made history as the first women to fight in the UFC, with Rousey winning by signature armbar to retain the bantamweight championship she brought over with her from Strikeforce

Before she could take part in the biggest rematch in women’s MMA history, Ronda Rousey had to get through Liz Carmouche . And even though on paper, it looks like just another in a long string of dominant first-round armbar wins for the UFC women’s bantamweight champion, her UFC debut gave her at least a couple tense moments. Rousey (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) defends her belt on Saturday against the woman she took it from in Strikeforce, Miesha Tate (13-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC), in the co-main event of UFC 168 . The highly heated rivalry has made for arguably the most anticipated women’s fight in history, and Rousey is as much as a 10-to-1 favorite. Check out the full fight video above of Rousey’s fight in February against Carmouche at UFC 157 – the first women’s fight in UFC history
