By Miguel Vasquez, Christian Post Contributor Tuesday, November 10, 2015

UFC 193 will be headlined and co-headlined by two women's title fights for the UFC's first fight card in Melbourne, Australia.

Scheduled for November 15th, the event will be taking place at the Etihad Stadium, an arena capable of housing more than 53,000 mixed martial arts fans around the world.

Sports Illustrated's "Most Dominant Athlete Alive", "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey, will headline the card, as she defends her UFC bantamweight title for the eighth consecutive time. Holding an undefeated record of 12-0 (all wins by stoppage), she will be going up against a woman considered as her toughest test yet, former boxing world champion Holly Holm.

Also undefeated in mixed martial arts competition, Holm (9-0, with six victories by stoppage) last saw action in July, where she won by unanimous decision against Marion Reneau. She holds a 33-2-3 (nine wins by knockout) win-loss slate in boxing, and was the World Boxing Federation's 2012 Fighter of the Year.

Co-headlining the event are strawweight champion Joanna Jędrzejczyk, who will be defending her title for the second time against number nine ranked 115-pound fighter in the UFC, Valérie Létourneau.

Jędrzejczyk's fighting roots of Muay Thai dates back when she was a teenager growing up in Poland. Now 28 years old, Jędrzejczyk, holds a kickboxing record of 27-2, and an unblemished mixed martial arts record of 10-0 (with four victories by knockout).

She won the belt in March, after stopping then champion and Ultimate Fighter Season 20 winner Carla Esparza. Jędrzejczyk last saw action in June, when she defended her belt for the first time against Jessica Penne, whom she defeated by third round TKO.

Létourneau, on the other hand, is 3-0 in the UFC, and last saw action in August against Maryna Moroz, where she won by unanimous decision.

Also on the card is a rematch between heavyweights Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva and Mark "Super Samoan" Hunt. The two first fought each other in December 2013, in a bout that was given the Fight of the Night honors, afterwards. The fight did end in a draw, but Silva had failed the post-fight drug test for elevated testosterone levels.
