The retirement of Amanda Nunes has drastically reshaped the landscape of women’s MMA. With her departure, a sudden rush of excitement and anticipation swept through her previously defeated adversaries. The seasoned fighters in the Bantamweight division saw a renewed chance to claim the top spot, while those in the Featherweight division prepared themselves for potential restructuring.
Alongside this wave of change, the prospect of Ronda Rousey’s return to the Octagon began to circulate. The charismatic and wildly popular former champion suddenly had the opportunity to pursue gold in two divisions without the formidable Nunes reigning over both. Holly Holm, who once defeated Rousey, is still an active contender and will face Mayra Bueno Silva at UFC Vegas 77. However, despite the fervor building around this possibility, it’s time to ground the expectations. Ariel Helwani of MMAFighting reports that Rousey is not contemplating a comeback to MMA.
This comes as no surprise as Rousey, the 36-year-old Olympian, has been thriving in professional wrestling and had significant injuries prior to her retirement in 2016.
With the Rousey speculation set aside, the attention of the MMA community can now shift towards real upcoming events. The spotlight is currently on the widely anticipated showdown between tech titans Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. As the buzz builds, we’ll be bringing you the latest updates, analysis, and prop bets on this unique, headline-grabbing super fight.
