Ronda Rousey recently said she\u2019s finding her love for MMA again after posting training videos, but one UFC Hall of Famer advises fans to not be fooled.<\/p>\n
Rousey has been out of pro MMA competition since she was stopped by Amanda Nunes in 48 seconds back in late 2016. After she dominated the women\u2019s bantamweight division and secured a perfect record of 12-0, \u201cRowdy\u201d suffered back-to-back finishing losses before transitioning to the world of pro wrestling. Rousey hasn\u2019t been under WWE contract since 2023 and she got fans buzzing with her MMA training videos<\/a>.<\/p>\n In a new video posted on his YouTube channel<\/a>, Chael Sonnen stressed that he believes the sport of MMA left Rousey behind almost a decade ago (h\/t MMAJunkie<\/a>).<\/p>\n \u201cThere is just this idea that when somebody goes out there and they break a sweat or they used to do this sport and they dangle this idea of a return,\u201d Sonnen said on his YouTube channel, \u201cbut then an adult steps in the room and goes, \u2018Hey, it\u2019s not a return. You were forced out.\u2019 It\u2019s not a retirement when they throw your ass out of the cage.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s never a day that you want to be done with this sport. You will wake up and find out one day that the sport is done with you, with three exceptions: Georges St-Pierre, Khabib (Nurmagomedov) and Jon Jones. They all had belts, they all left on top, and they were all wanted and welcomed to stay, and they made their own decision that they were not going to.\u201d<\/p>\n
