Tom Taylor - January 1, 2017

In November of 2015, MMA superstar Ronda Rousey was unplugged by a second-round Holly Holm head-kick. It took over a year to happen, but in the main event of last Friday’s UFC 207, the former champ finally returned to the Octagon to redeem herself, when she took on reigning women’s bantamweight queen Amanda Nunes.

On December 30, in the main event of UFC 207, former UFC women’s bantamweight champion and transcendent MMA icon Ronda Rousey made her long awaited return to the Octagon. She did so against reigning bantamweight queen Amanda Nunes, in her first fight since she was turned off by a Holly Holm head kick in November of 2015. Rousey’s return to action could not have gone worse, as she was mauled to a TKO loss in a mere 48 seconds. Now on the first two-fight losing streak of her legendary career, Rousey’s future is undeniably nebulous. While many fans and fellow fighters would like to see her get back on the horse, her retiring seems like a likely possibility.
