Ronda Rousey<\/a>‘s feud with the UFC<\/a> is continuing to build as she nears her MMA return<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Considered by many to be among the greatest female fighters ever to grace mixed martial arts, ‘Rowdy’ hasn’t enjoyed the best of relationships<\/a> with her former employer over recent years, despite rising to superstardom with the promotion. As she approaches her return<\/a>, originally discussed to take place inside the octagon, the 39-year-old is doing everything she can to promote the comeback, including discrediting<\/a> the UFC.<\/p>\n

Ronda Rousey’s big return will be a spectacle for fans of the sport. Not only will she be finally competing against Gina Carano<\/a> after over a decade of talk, but the event will also feature several other significant matchups.<\/p>\n

Fresh from his departure from the PFL, Francis Ngannou<\/a> matches up against Philipe Lins in a five-round bout<\/a>. The heavyweights are known for their finishing ability, so expect fireworks when they lineup on May 16.<\/p>\n

Alongside Ngannou, the card will also feature Nate Diaz<\/a>‘s comeback. Instead of the UFC, Diaz signed with Jake Paul<\/a>‘s Most Valuable Promotions, where he will fight Mike Perry<\/a> on the Rousey vs. Carano undercard, live on Netflix.<\/p>\n

In response to the Diaz vs. Perry news<\/a>, Ronda Rousey continued her war of words toward the UFC, firing shots at its executive vice president and chief business officer, Hunter Campbell.<\/p>\n

“Welcome to the revolution Nate Diaz [and] Mike Perry,” Rousey said in a social media post. “It’s the FIGHTERS vs the establishment \u2014 and we’re gunna win! May 16th only on Netflix. P.S. Hunter Campbell pissed off the wrong b*tch, I’m coming for your job motherf***er.”<\/p>\n

Hunter Campbell has become a more public figure in recent years and is known as one of the most powerful personnel in the day-to-day dealings with the UFC. According to reports, Campbell played a key role in Ronda Rousey’s return to the UFC being snubbed, birthing a feud between the company and the MMA legend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ronda Rousey‘s feud with the UFC is continuing to build as she nears her MMA return.
