It sounds like former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey will be returning before the end of the year after all.
While Rousey is working on the remake of the popular 1980s movie Roadhouse, Holly Holm will fight Meisha Tate at UFC 196 and the winner will take on Rousey. Until today, it wasn’t clear if the Rousey title rematch would even take place in the 2016 calendar year.
UFC President Dana White revealed during a radio interview on Wednesday that barring injuries or other unforeseen circumstances, “Rowdy” Ronda will likely make her Octagon return in November.
“The winner of that fight will fight Ronda probably in November,” Dana White revealed on “The Neighborhood” with Big Boy on Wednesday. “[Rousey] is very intense. She’s a bad ass. She’ll be back.”
Rousey has yet to personally confirm a November return. If Holm is victorious at UFC 196, her rematch with Ronda Rousey will likely be one of the biggest money fights and most highly anticipated rematches in UFC history.
