White: Rousey will fight for the belt, possibly in NYC

[Wild]

Ronda Rousey will return to the UFC before end of the year and she will fight whoever holds the women's bantamweight title in her first fight back.

Rousey has been out of action since last November when she was knocked out by Holly Holm at UFC 193 in Australia. Since then, Rousey has largely stayed out of the spotlight while Holm went onto lose the title to Miesha Tate in her first title defense at UFC 196 in March.

Most recently, Rousey appeared in New York when Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the bill to legalize the sport in the state. Rousey stated afterwards that she would love to fight in New York in November when the UFC lands at Madison Square Garden for UFC 205 and it sounds like she might get her wish.

"She's definitely part of the discussion (for New York) and she will fight whoever has that belt when she comes back," UFC president Dana White said about Rousey on the "Beadle and Shelburne" podcast.

She earned it with that Bud Light commercial

“I don’t know if Ronda is too excited to rush in there for a title shot again,” White told ESPN following UFC on FOX 19. “She’s catching her stride. She seemed like she was loading up a lot against Holm and trying to knock her out with one punch instead of flowing like she did against Bethe. But she’ll probably have a fight or two before a title shot.”

So this is why there was no Holly Holm rematch for Miesha.

I'm almost hoping Nunez wins now...
Either way I'm not excited about Ronda fighting either of them.

That's the fight right there!!

 

[jason73]

ronda doesnt have a leg to stand on now that she isnt the champ anymore.she could easily fight cyborg at a catch weight

When I first read the headline, I thought it was another coy discussion on how much weight she had gained.

For the record, I've been fighting for the belt in Iowa the past 20 years

(Edit...preeeety sure I have a new signature off this)

Dana White still analyzing Rousey situation. Whenever White feels that she will give me a fruitful business than he will do everything for it.

You know how I know they have zero faith in Rousey and Conor anymore?

Yes they have zero faith in both of them because in politics everything is fine but not in sports. Like Mcgregor is out of UFC 200 recently, this is also a great game plan from Dana. And I'm not surprised with it because he always didn't take UFC as a sports.
