Rounding out a wild year for MMA is the blockbuster UFC 207 on December 30. Taking place in the mecca of the world’s largest MMA promotion, UFC 207 will be hosted by Las Vegas, Nevada. Headlining the monster card is a women’s bantamweight title fight that has everybody talking. Amanda Nunes will look to defend the belt that was wrapped around her opponent’s waist for over three years. Ronda Rousey returns in the hopes of overcoming her sole career loss, after being smashed by Holly Holm last year.
Shutting out the media for her long-awaited comeback, questions both about her ability against Nunes, and her mental readiness have been tensely debated. Men’s bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz will take on yet another Team Alpha Male standout in the form of Cody Garbrandt. ‘No Love’ faces ‘The Dominator’ as the UFC 207 co-main event. Their fierce rivalry and elite skills could make this one a FOTN scrap between Cruz and Garbrandt.
Is She Back?
Originally meant to feature a heavyweight rematch betwee Cain Velasquez and Fabricio Werdum, UFC 207 did take a big knock this weekend. That said, the card still has plenty of star power and potential. Arguably the biggest talking point is still Rousey vs. Nunes. Is she back? Guess we’ll find out very soon.
