Ronda Rousey won’t be able to intimidate ex-marine Liz Carmouche ahead of UFC 157

Ronda Rousey has been known to be a little "Rowdy" from time-to-time with her pre-fight chatter and activities.

From her infamous forehead-to-forehead weigh-in stare down with Miesha Tate to her non-stop verbal assualt on 'cheating' Cris Cyborg, Rousey isn't afraid to speak up and tell it like it is.

It's all a part of the mixed martial arts (MMA) fight game, this trash talking, and it's become an important tool to help fighters get in the head of their competition.

However, all the pre-fight brouhaha won't work against Liz Carmouche, whom Rousey is set to defend her bantamweight title at UFC 157 on Feb. 23, 2013. No, it's not Liz, the ex-marine, beating her chest and proclaiming her immunity to intimidation, it's Rousey herself, who reveals there won't be much trash-talking going on leading up to the event because it simply won't work against ‘Girl-rilla."

MMA Fighting has the word:

"I like Liz. She's a Marine, I'm not going to be able to intimidate this girl. The prefight intimidation stuff won't work, I won't have that advantage I usually have over my competition. Because it's a first-time event, because the first time for women to fight on a UFC card, and she's the first openly gay fighter, it doesn't need to be any squabbling or argument. It's an extraordinarily positive thing, we don't need an argument to push it. It's a positive event and I don't mind there being no arguments. It sells itself. It's history."

For all of you expecting a heavy dosage of Ronda's pre-fight chit chat, tough luck, she isn't planning on bringing out her inner-Chael Sonnen this time out.

Nevertheless, the former Olympic judo bronze medalist has hit the nail on the head in proclaiming the fight will sell itself. After all, this will be the first time women will be competing inside the Octagon, and that by itself will likely grab plenty of curious spectators.

Will you be one of them?
