Ronda Rousey's return to UFC competition might be delayed until the year 2017
Ronda Rousey, the former UFC women's bantamweight champion, is gearing up for her comeback after undergoing knee surgery. The exact date of her return is yet to be confirmed, but it's expected that she might make her comeback in December or the new year.
Rousey's surgery was not for a serious condition, and she has been training diligently during her recovery. However, injuries could potentially alter her opponent for her first fight back.
At the moment, Miesha Tate holds the UFC women's bantamweight title, having defeated Holly Holm in their title fight last March. If Rousey is still the champion by the time she returns, she will fight Miesha Tate. However, Holm could still be the champion by then, as the title could change hands before Rousey's return.
Rousey lost her title to Holm in a shocking defeat last November, marking the end of her undefeated streak. Since then, she has been away from the ring, but her spirits remain high, according to UFC president Dana White, who stated that Rousey feels great.
UFC 205, scheduled for November, was expected to be Rousey's comeback event. However, due to her knee surgery, her participation in UFC 205 is uncertain. Instead, Rousey was originally expected to be a part of UFC 200, but she won't be ready to fight then.
UFC 205 holds significant importance as it will be the first UFC event in New York City after an eight-year legislative battle to bring the sport to the state. Regardless of who the champion is when Rousey returns, White has confirmed that her first fight back would be against the champion.
As for Rousey's opponent, there is no available information at this time. Fans will have to wait and see who the UFC women's bantamweight champion is by the time Rousey returns, and who she will face in her highly anticipated comeback fight.
