UFC 157: Keys to Victory for Liz Carmouche vs. Ronda Rousey

Liz Carmouche will challenge Ronda Rousey for the UFC women’s bantamweight championship at UFC 157. It will not only be the first female fight under the UFC banner, but the main event of a highly anticipated card.

How to defeat Rousey is still a mystery. Her striking has not been put to the test in the cage, and she has not been pushed past the first round. Her dominance has begun to give her an aura that we have not seen since Fedor Emelianenko.

The Girl-Rilla is no stranger to coming in as a large underdog, though. In 2011, she accepted a fight on short notice with then-Strikeforce champion Marloes Coenen, and nearly exited Columbus, Ohio as the champion.

With that being said, Rousey will be a whole different ballgame.

Carmouche will try to be the first to shatter the perception of invincibility. Everyone will be watching.

Here are five keys to victory for the Girl-Rilla.

Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort was one of the most anticipated middleweight title fights in recent memory. It brought us one of the most memorable knockouts ever when it happened.

Belfort is still one of the top contenders at 185 pounds, and that was highlighted once again in his knockout performance over Michael Bisping.

Later this Spring, Belfort will have a chance to knock off former Strikeforce Middleweight Champion Luke Rockhold and lay claim to being the number one contender once again, but he should not get another crack at Silva.

Here are four big reasons this fight absolutely makes no sense.
