Ronda Rousey sparks speculation after addressing UFC fans in a surprise appearance.
Ronda Rousey may not be done with the UFC just yet. In a recent interview that has reignited excitement among MMA fans, Rousey acknowledged the ongoing rumors about a possible UFC comeback, leaving the door open for a return that would shake up the women’s division. Known for her groundbreaking impact on the sport, the former bantamweight champion’s presence still looms large over the UFC landscape.
Rousey, who last fought in the UFC in 2016, stepped away after back-to-back losses to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes. Many believed that her fighting days were behind her as she transitioned into a successful WWE career and motherhood. However, her recent comments have reignited interest. “I never said I was done forever,” Rousey said during a Q&A session at a Las Vegas fan event. “The UFC will always be home in some way.”
Once dubbed the “Baddest Woman on the Planet,” Ronda Rousey was instrumental in legitimizing women’s MMA in the UFC. Her reign as champion, starting in 2012, brought unprecedented attention to female fighters. The phrase “Rousey UFC” was once synonymous with dominance, and her legacy continues to influence the current crop of stars. UFC President Dana White has often praised Rousey, calling her “a trailblazer who changed everything.”
While a full return has not been confirmed, UFC Rousey speculation is at an all-time high. Several fighters in the bantamweight and featherweight divisions have already expressed interest in welcoming her back to the Octagon. If she does return, it could set up one of the most talked-about fights in recent UFC history.
For now, fans are left to wonder whether Rousey’s story in the UFC is truly over—or if she’s gearing up for one last run. Either way, her name continues to carry weight in the combat sports world.
