The UFC 157 card is shaping up quickly as UFC officials have added two more bouts to the event.

Welterweights Josh Koscheck and Robbie Lawler will do battle, plus featherweights Chad Mendes and Manny Gamburyan have agreed to fight on the card. Finally, a feathweight bout between TUF Finalist Dennis Bermudez and Matt Grice will take place on the card.

UFC 157 will take place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, and will be headlined by the first ever women’s fight in the UFC. Ronda Rousey will defend her UFC bantamweight title against Liz Carmouche.

Koscheck (17-6) is coming off a split decision loss to Johny Hendricks at the UFC on FOX 3 event in May. He had won back-to-back fights prior to that after losing in his title fight against Georges St. Pierre at UFC 124. Lawler (19-9, 1NC) will be making his first return to the UFC since 2004. He is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Lorenz Larkin in July. This will also mark his return to the welterweight division after competing as a middleweight for a number of years.

Chad Mendes (13-1) is coming off a TKO win over Yaotzin Meza at the UFC on FX 6 event last week. Mendes has won back-to-back fights since losing in his title bid against Jose Aldo at UFC 142 which is his lone defeat. Gamburyan (12-7) is coming off a unanimous decision win over Michihiro Omigawa at the UFC on FOX 4 event in August.

Bermudez (9-3) is coming off a submission win over Tommy Hayden at UFC 150. It was the second UFC win for Bermudez after coming up short on the TUF 14 Finale against Diego Brandao. Grice (15-4) is coming off a unanimous decision win over Leonard Garcia in June. His UFC record currently stands at (1-1).

  4. Women are cheating all over the place, nowadays! (Leann Rimes/Cibrian,
    Coco/IceT, Kristen Stewart, Suzy Favor Hamilton the Olympian & Vegas call
    girl, Rita Ora/Rob Kardashian, Petraeus women).

    My latest book, “I Steal Wives: A serial adulterer reveals
    the REAL reasons more and more ‘happily married’ women are cheating” is a
    powerful look at this EXPLOSIVE topic of female infidelity. And the REAL
    reasons aren’t the typical blather you hear on talk-TV or read in the
    SECOND-HAND information of some psychologist’s self-help book. It’s now in the
    top 1% of books selling on Amazon!

    The book is the FIRST BOOK EVER WRITTEN on female infidelity
    from the FIRST-HAND, insider experience of a serial adulterer, who cheated with
    the wives/girlfriends of over 25 married men (and a few women), and who also
    happens to be a therapist (never cheated with clients)! “I Steal
    Wives” is a salacious, self-deprecating, at times funny, and penetratingly
    insightful look into what is now the very cutting-edge of relationships.

    It’s the relationship version of “How to Secure Your
    House, as told by a professional burglar!” This is no joke, the raw truths
    of “I Steal Wives” will forever change how you do relationships and understand
    women, especially if you are one!

    Check it out now at Amazon and Barnes and Noble!! It’s
    selling FAST!
