MMA fighter Ronda Rousey's potential absense in UFC stretches up to 2017
UFC: Ronda Rousey's Return Fight Uncertain Amid Training and Title Changes
In a recent development, UFC President Dana White has not ruled out the possibility of injuries affecting the title holder before Ronda Rousey's return fight. The former UFC women's bantamweight champion has been out of the ring since losing her title to Holly Holm in November 2015.
Rousey was initially expected to make her comeback at UFC 200 in July, but it appears her return may now be delayed. White has stated that Rousey's first fight back would be against the champion, whoever it is, but he did not specify a particular event for her return.
Rousey has been training diligently despite her recent knee surgery. In an optimistic tone, White mentioned that Rousey feels great and her spirits are high. The surgery was not serious, and Rousey has been working hard to get back in the ring.
The potential opponent for Rousey's return fight could be Holly Holm, depending on who holds the title at that time. Holm lost her first title defense to Miesha Tate last March, but if Tate is still the champion, Rousey will fight Tate.
UFC 205, scheduled for November, marks the first UFC event in New York City after an eight-year legislative battle to bring the sport to the state. However, there is no confirmation that Rousey will fight there. Reports suggest that Rousey may fight in December, or potentially on the New Year's show or early in the year.
Rousey has made it clear that a return to WWE is unlikely. She prioritizes her family life as a mother of two and does not want to live the demanding touring lifestyle WWE requires. This decision rules out the possibility of a highly anticipated Rousey vs. Holm rematch in the WWE ring.
UFC 205 promises to be an exciting event, regardless of Rousey's participation. With the sport finally legal in New York, fans can look forward to a new era of UFC in the city that never sleeps.
