Ronda Rousey to Return to Octagon at UFC 207

By Djack

UFC has absolutely blown up in the last few years, for the most part because of stars like Conor McGregor and Ronda Rousey, well in December the sports biggest star Ronda Rousey will return the octagon to fight Amanda Nunes for the Bantamweight championship. It's been 11 months since we last saw Rousey in the octagon, a sight most sports fans will never forget as the UFC's most dominant champion was knocked out. By the time the fight happens it'll be over a year since she last fought, Dana White says she could've came back early but that she wanted to take some time off since she has given the sport so much in such a little time. You can only not fight for so long though, this isn't a sport where you can pull a Michael Jordan and just come back after two years, and still be the greatest. Ronda timed this comeback perfectly, she has had plenty of time get her entire body healthy, we all know what a crazy amount of stress this sport puts on your body so she's probably feeling better physically than she has in years. More importantly, mentally she's had time to get her mind right, no one really knows if her getting knocked out by Holly Holm will alter her career, the only way we'll know is when she takes on Amanda Nunes in December. I've never seen Nunes fight besides her last fight against Miesha Tate. From what I can see though Miesha Tate has been the Bantamweights 2nd best fighter for quite some time now, behind Ronda Rousey of course, and if Nunes was able to massacre Tate like she did she must be for real. Let's not forget Rousey was almost untouchable up until that Holm fight though, so maybe she'll just go back to kicking everyone's ass again, which would be AWESOME. Dana White is most certainly praying that Ronda wins her championship back so he can set up the Cyborg v Rousey fight, the fight everyone really wants to see. As I see it, if you aren't pulling for Rousey to win this fight in December, you're just not a true fan of the sport. Cyborg v Rousey for the belt would be the biggest fight in the sports history, maybe, I don't know if it can top what McGregor and Nate Diaz did, but I'm sure White would make sure it is. Hats off to that guy too, he just keeps bringing fans huge fight after huge fight, that's a real commissioner right there, Roger Goodell should take notes.
