The Other Side is the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s first dedicated programme looking at LGBTQ+ issues in sport. In this episode, we're joined by a legendary figure in the world of MMA and a true pioneer - as Liz Carmouche is our special guest. She talks about what it was like to main event UFC 157 with Ronda Rousey in the organisation's first-ever women's match, and being the UFC's first-ever openly lesbian fighter. Plus we discuss losing sponsorship because of her sexuality; serving in the military in the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' era - and why the question of the 'greatest ever' MMA fighter can't be answered yet. Got a story about being LGBTQ+ in sport? Why not tell us about it - email jack.murley@bbc.co.uk or message us on Twitter via jack_murley. And if you liked what you heard, why not share this episode on social media so more people can give it a listen? (PHOTO CREDIT: Liz Carmouche - Instagram: @iamgirlrilla)
