Ronda Rousey, the former dominant UFC bantamweight champion, retired from MMA after her loss to Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 in 2016. Since then, she has transitioned to a successful career in professional wrestling with WWE. However, there have been recent rumors suggesting that Rousey might make a comeback and fight at UFC 300.
During a press conference, UFC President Dana White denied these rumors and stated that Rousey is happy in retirement. But, legendary referee ‘Big’ John McCarthy believes that White might be hiding something, drawing comparisons to the tactics he used for Brock Lesnar’s UFC 200 return.
In a recent episode of the Weighing In podcast, McCarthy speculated that a Rousey return could still be on the table behind closed doors. He suggested that White might be strategically planning the announcement to maximize the show’s sales. McCarthy referred to this tactic as ‘misinformation’ rather than a direct lie.
While some MMA journalists, including Ariel Helwani, have dismissed the possibility of Rousey returning to the UFC Octagon, the speculation continues to circulate. Rousey, who was the first female inductee into the UFC Hall of Fame, holds several records in her fighting career, including the fastest female UFC win against Cat Zingano (0:14).
As UFC 300 approaches, fans eagerly await the official lineup and potential returns of Rousey and other UFC legends. Only time will tell if Rousey will step back into the cage, but the rumors persist, leaving many to wonder if Dana White is indeed hiding something.
