Rousey will have her first fight since losing her title (and undefeated record) to Holly Holm at UFC 193 in November 2015.
So many times it happens too fast. You trade your passion for glory.I think Ronda's idol Gina Carano knew that you can't be a movie star and be a champion at the same time. I think where Carano went right and Ronda went horribly wrong is that Carano knew she didn't have that killer instinct anymore and wouldn't allow Dana to talk her into stepping back in. Now we view her loss as controversial and flukey. Going into the nunes fight we viewed Ronda the same way since holly holm has lost twice since knocking her out. Bottom line is we know Ronda doesn't have "it" anymore, but we will never know if Carano ever lost "it" or just got bored of fighting because she was so good
Kinda like the middle weight division. Silva's two losses to Weidman has not helped Chris other than he got the belt for beating him. The first fight is viewed as a lucky punch while Anderson was being cocky, and the second one was a bad break (no pun intended) injury that cost Anderson his career. I think Ronda needs to walk away or try to get a fight with cyborg or carano, even though she is terribly outmatched in both, because I think legendary fights are the only thing she is capable of doing unless she fights holly again. The reason I say that is because it is obvious she doesn't live MMA anymore, she just fights. The difference is one is a near religious experience (living mma) and the other is just for sport (fighting)Yeah, Rhonda's heart isn't in it anymore. I know she has always been a huge fan of the WWE, so maybe that is her next stop.
Sad to say, in the end Nunes probably doesn't benefit much from the win, other than she is the second UFC fighter to beat her. Until another star steps from the shadows, the women's division will be overshadowed by Rousey rather she is there or not.
I don't understand the UFC love at all but if I'm ever going to watch women fight there better be mud involved!Still don't understand the fantasy of women wailing on each other.
After Holly Helm tested her jaw and Rousy failed miserably, it was over for her.

And that's sad. Really sad. Makes me like MMA even less now.Rousey made a disclosed $3M last night while Nunes made $200K. Ronda will keep fighting once a year if they keep paying her a $3M purse + PPV points..
WOW! I see said the blind man.Rousey made a disclosed $3M last night while Nunes made $200K. Ronda will keep fighting once a year if they keep paying her a $3M purse + PPV points..
I prefer jello.I don't understand the UFC love at all but if I'm ever going to watch women fight there better be mud involved!
No it was not her retirement fight. There has been speculation that she would retire if she lost but she has come out with a statement and hasn't said anything else in terms of her stepping down. But I do think this does her in. To me, she needs to leave the Glendale Fight Club and move over to someone like Jackson-Wink because she needs some standup help and the goof she has training her is a complete moron. If she stays at Glendale she either retires or keeps getting slaughtered.I want to see Rousey go out with a bang (destroying Nunes). If I am not badly mistaken, this is her retirement fight.
