Ronda Rousey has stoked the flames regarding a potential UFC comeback, but one former fighter advises against it.<\/p>\n
Rousey was a pioneer of women\u2019s MMA, convincing Dana White to introduce the UFC women\u2019s bantamweight division. \u201cRowdy\u201d was the inaugural UFC Women\u2019s Bantamweight Champion. Her bouts were often quick and one-sided, and she became one of the most popular stars in the UFC. Rousey\u2019s dominant run ended when she was knocked out by Holly Holm via head kick. \u201cRowdy\u201d then suffered a 48-second TKO loss to Amanda Nunes, which was the last bout of her pro MMA career.<\/p>\n
Recently, Rousey posted footage of an MMA training session<\/a>. She said she\u2019s been finding her love for the sport again<\/a>. During an edition of MMAFighting.com\u2019<\/a>s \u201cThe Fighter vs. The Writer,\u201d Matt Brown said that while a comeback fight for Rousey would generate buzz, he doesn\u2019t believe it\u2019s a good idea.<\/p>\n \u201cWe know everyone would get behind bringing Ronda Rousey back,\u201d Brown said. \u201cAs big of a star as she was, yeah, f*ck yeah everybody would be all about it. Whether they love her or hate her, we\u2019ll watch 100 percent.<\/p>\n \u201c[But] I would say the same thing with Conor [McGregor] \u2026 you cannot take that time off and expect to come back at a high level. Everybody else is working everyday. This isn\u2019t 1998 anymore where you can just kind of be a fighter in training camp and then chill and then come back. We\u2019re not even talking about that. We\u2019re talking about years off. She\u2019ll get destroyed.\u201d<\/p>\n When Rousey hung up her gloves, she entered the world of professional wrestling. She garnered success with multiple world title reigns, but many believe she left WWE on a sour note with recent comments about her booking.
