Before Rousey joined the UFC, the UFC didn't even allow women to fight in the system. In fact, Dana White, the president of the UFC, even said that women would never fight in the UFC. However, in other MMA organizations that did accept women fighters, Rousey was dominating every woman that she fought.

Information technology was as well obvious that Rousey was heads above the rest of her contest, as she is an Olympic medalist in judo. With an undefeated 6-fight win streak, all by armbar submissions, Rousey's say-so convinced the UFC to allow women in the UFC.

And even in the UFC, Rousey was still dominating everyone that she fought. She was either submitting them with armbars or knocking them out. In fact, by her 12th victory, she only had ane fight that had gone by the first round. That all changed in late 2022 when Holm stunned the earth by knocking Rousey out with a head kick.

Rousey didn't have the loss well, merely she took a year off from the sport to recover physically and mentally. In late 2016, she fabricated her return to the UFC against Nunes. Nonetheless, Nunes proved her doubters wrong and knocked Rousey out in less than 50 seconds. That marked the last fight in Rousey's UFC career.

Ronda Rousey's other ventures

Rousey again took a few months off, only by that indicate, UFC fans were confident she wasn't going to fight again. And sure enough, in late 2017, Rousey eventually joined the WWE full-time. In the WWE, Rousey became very successful, as she won the women'southward championship not long after she joined.

While Rousey is making millions in the WWE, that's not the merely thing she'south been doing. Fifty-fifty before her UFC losses, Rousey was getting and then famous that she got roles in major Hollywood films such as in the Fast & Furious franchise. That hasn't changed much since then, and currently, she continues to become work outside of sports.

Despite all that, MMA Junkie reports that Rousey still has people asking her when she's going to fight in the UFC again. However, she probably won't exist fighting in the UFC anytime soon.

Why Rousey won't fight in the UFC over again

Rousey could likely pace into the octagon at almost any time and take intendance of her opponent, but she'south not likely to do that. Why not? She doesn't take the urge.

"Would I rather be the greatest of all time, or have everybody retrieve I'm the greatest of all time? It used to be so of import to me to have both. I know, and the people who dearest me know (what I've accomplished). It'southward no longer a priority in my life," Rousey said, according to MMA Junkie.

That statement confirms what many UFC fans think about Rousey. She has achieved a lot for the sport, because without her, the UFC may not have women's divisions today. And without a doubt, she is one of the greatest of all time, much like how UFC legends from the past are considered some of the greatest of all time.

But, merely similar how those onetime UFC legends wouldn't be competitive in the modern UFC, neither would Rousey exist. Rousey is nonetheless a skillful fighter, just it's obvious that the best women in her division are but better than her now. That's partially why she won't return to the UFC. Just the fact that she's also making a lot of money without damaging her torso every bit much is some other reason why she doesn't even demand to return to the UFC.
