The UFC Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey will join The Ultimate Fighter as a coach. She and another female fighter will coach the first group of female fighters in the show's 18^th season.

Rousey will coach along side the winner of a fight between Miesha Tate and Cat Zingano.

The male and female fighters will be living in the same house for the duration of the show.

Season 17 of The Ultimate Fighter wraps up on April 17 in Las Vegas. Try-outs for season 18 will take place in Las Vegas on April 17.

Ronda Rousey is 26-years-old and the first female UFC Bantamweight champion. She was also the first American woman to win an Olympic Gold Medal in Judo at the Summer 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

Rousey made her mixed martial arts debut in 2010. She defeated Hayden Munoz by armbar submission in 23-seconds.  In November of 2010 she used the armbar to beat Autumn Richardson in 57-seconds.

Rousey has taken down many opponents with the armbar submission move. She beat Taylor Stratford in 2011 in 24-seconds and Charmaine Tweet in 49-seconds.

Rousey is known for using trash talk and downplaying her opponent's abilities publically and without apology. She also famously called out Michael Phelps for being a jerk at the 2008 Olympics.

"Michael Phelps needed his own private section of the club to be, like, private for him," Rousey said. "These NBA players over here are a bigger deal than this guy, and they're all hanging out with us. Hello, we're your teammates. We're not a bunch of groupies. Come hang out with us. Who the hell are you?"

Rousey added, "I don't like being somebody's teammate and being treated like I'm their groupie," Rousey said. "I didn't even want to go out of my way to go say hi to that guy. Get over yourself. All you do is swim. If someone slapped you every single time you jumped in the pool, then I'd have a little more respect, but I was a swimmer before I did this (expletive), so you can't tell me that swimming is 'OH MY GOD', because it's not."

The no-holds-barred MMA fighter won't go easy on the new female fighters of The Ultimate Fighter. These women will have to prove to the naysayers that they can hold their own in the male dominated reality-show.
