Former WWE star and UFC Hall of Famer Ronda Rousey is one of the most iconic fighters in the history of MMA. It seemed that her time in the sport was coming to an end; however, Rousey recently shared some training clips on Instagram, expressing that she is rediscovering her passion for MMA. This has sparked speculation about a potential return to the UFC.
Ariel Helwani discussed this topic during an episode of his show, where he explored the possibility of Ronda Rousey making a comeback to the UFC.
This is what Ariel Helwani said, “I don’t know if it’s the White House card (the rumored UFC White House special that would take place in June of 2026). But I really think something is happening here. I don’t think this is just … is she testing the waters? Sure. I think there is interest, and I’ll also say this: I never thought it would happen. She seemed so disgusted with MMA. The MMA community and the fans. To now see this and to see her kind of flirting with the idea is something that I never expected, but I do think something’s there. What does that translate into? Does it actually translate into a fight? I don’t know.”
