Since then, Rousey hadn\u2019t publicly confirmed or denied a UFC return, but in a recent interview, \u201cRowdy\u201d isn\u2019t slamming the door on a return to fighting, but it won\u2019t be in front of President Donald Trump in June.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cI am not fighting at the White House,\u201d Rousey said on <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/6wV8sR7cT67rJE7meveWNK\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Lapsed Fan Podcast<\/a>. \u201cI mean, after Mike Tyson being the biggest fight of the year [vs. Jake Paul], you never say never [on a return].<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cBut I ain\u2019t fighting on the f*cking White House.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">When asked why Rousey would say no if she was asked by UFC CEO Dana White, or the UFC brass, the massive superstar during the UFC\u2019s rise kept it simple, and also, a bit light.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cI got better shit to do,\u201d Ronda said. \u201cMy kid needs pasta.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Rousey made her UFC debut at UFC 157 in February 2013, submitting Liz Carmouche in the main event to retain her title \u2014 which carried over after the UFC purchased Strikeforce. Rousey defended the title successfully five more times, but at UFC 193, she was stopped and dethroned by Holly Holm in a shocking upset in November 2015. Rousey returned to the octagon 13 months later to face then-champ Amanda Nunes in the main event of UFC 207, where Nunes destroyed Rousey in just 48 seconds for a massive victory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">That was the final time Rousey competed in MMA before trasitioning into the pro wrestling world. Rousey had a five-year run with WWE, and is the only woman in history to hold titles in both the UFC and WWE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ronda Rousey has had fans questioning whether or not a return to the octagon is in the cards,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":128434,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,786,1347,785,85,787,1396],"class_list":{"0":"post-128433","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mma","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-fighting","11":"tag-latest-news","12":"tag-mma","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-ufc","15":"tag-ufc-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128433"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128433\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/128434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
