LAS VEGAS \u2013 Dana White is not buying the talk of UFC Hall of Famer Ronda Rousey competing in boxing for her return to combat sports.<\/p>\n

According to a report from\u00a0Boxing Scene, a fight between Rousey and Katie Taylor\u00a0is in the works<\/a>\u00a0for 2026 in Las Vegas. Rumors of a Rousey return have been circulating for a while after videos of her training emerged earlier this year.<\/p>\n

However, the UFC boss calls shenanigans.<\/p>\n

“Total bullsh*t,” White told MMA Junkie and other reporters during the UFC 323 post-fight news conference.<\/p>\n

Rousey, a former UFC women’s bantamweight champion, hasn’t competed in combat sports since\u00a0losing to Amanda Nunes<\/a>\u00a0by first-round TKO in December 2016. White doesn’t even see Rousey making an octagon return but clarified that his reaction isn’t a shot at the 38-year-old.<\/p>\n

“That’s up to her, you know what I mean?” White said of Rousey returning. “I personally cannot say enough good things about Ronda Rousey. When she was going to the WWE, the WWE called me to ask. I said, ‘I’m telling you right now, she’ll be the greatest athlete you’ve ever worked with over there. I’m telling you.’ I can’t say enough good things about her. She was great when she was here.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LAS VEGAS \u2013 Dana White is not buying the talk of UFC Hall of Famer Ronda Rousey competing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":338833,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[174977,449,64,63,802,15617,958,2874,2623,796,801,324,44,17425,323,335,451,439,188453,15809,30030,85,635,787,174978,2875,13886,14064],"class_list":["post-338832","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-174977","tag-arts","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-dana","tag-dana-white","tag-las","tag-las-vegas","tag-martial","tag-martial-arts","tag-neutral","tag-news","tag-nv","tag-overall","tag-overall-neutral","tag-overall-positive","tag-positive","tag-ronda","tag-ronda-rousey","tag-rousey","tag-sports","tag-sports-news","tag-ufc","tag-ufc-323","tag-vegas","tag-white","tag-wwe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338832","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=338832"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338832\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/338833"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=338832"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=338832"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=338832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
