Many fans have continued to question when we will see the Octagon return of former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion and emerging mainstream celebrity “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey.
During his appearance on “The Dan Patrick Show” this week, UFC President Dana White spoke about Rousey’s UFC return status.
“I would really like her to fight this year,” White said. “I hope she does. That’s up to Ronda, Ronda is coming to come out and let us know when she’s going to fight again. That’s up to her.”
White continued, “If you look at, from when I decided to bring fighters into the UFC, no fighter has worked harder than Ronda Rousey over the last three years, other than probably Conor McGregor. So, she deserves the time off.”
Rousey last competed at UFC 193 in Melbourne, Australia on November 14, 2015, where she lost the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship in her first and only professional MMA defeat to Holly Holm via second round knockout.

Many have been wondering about the communication status between Conor McGregor and Dana White following the reigning UFC Featherweight Champion’s recent fallout with UFC management regarding the upcoming landmark UFC 200 event.
This week, UFC President Dana White appeared on “The Dan Patrick Show,” as seen above, to clear up the situation.
“Conor and I have been talking every day,” White said on Wednesday. “We’re gonna have dinner next week. Our relationship is great. We’re gonna put the little speed bump in the road behind us and move forward. Everything is great.”
White continued, “McGregor is ready to fight on 200. The thing that has made Conor McGregor a massive star and why people love him is this kid loves to fight. He’ll fight anybody, anywhere, any time. He goes in and goes for broke. His fights are exciting and fun, leading up to them, during them and after them. McGregor is ready to fight.”
White would go on to clarify that nothing is official regarding the rumors of a McGregor vs. Nate Diaz rematch at UFC 202.
As reported on Tuesday evening, MMA legend Anderson Silva is out of his scheduled fight against Urijah Hall at this Saturday’s UFC 198 pay-per-view in Curitiba, Brazil.
Silva’s doctor Marcio Tannure told MMAFighting.com that “The Spider” is scheduled to undergo surgery to remove his gall bladder on Wednesday morning.
He was expected to fly from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Curitiba, Brazil for the fight on Tuesday morning, however he was instead rushed to the hospital four hours before his team was scheduled to leave.
“He called me and said ‘I’m going to the hospital, but I’ll get better’, so we came to Curitiba,” Silva’s coach Luiz Carlos Dorea said to MMA Fighting. “When we arrived in Curitiba, he said ‘Master, I came home but the pain is too much.’ I told him to eat something, but he said ‘I can’t, I’m eating and throwing up.’ He told me this afternoon that it was too painful and he had to go back to the hospital.”
Dorea continued, explaining that Silva was merely five pounds away from making weight before he felt incredible pain.
“He was doing great, and this came out of nowhere,” Dorea said. “He felt some (abdominal) pain before, but nothing serious. He always came back to train the next day, so we never imagined it would be something like this.”
Headlined by Fabricio Werdum vs. Stipe Miocic for the UFC Heavyweight Championship and featurinng Cris Cyborg’s Octagon debut against Leslie Smith, Vitor Belfort vs. Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua vs. Corey Anderson and more, UFC 198 is scheduled for Saturday, May 14, 2016 in Curitiba, Brazil.

It looks like UFC President Dana White doesn’t agree with recent reports that claim UFC is in “advanced talks” to be sold for up to 4 billion dollars to new owners.
“The UFC is not for sale,” White said. “The ESPN story is overblown. Darren Rovell is not a fan of facts. His facts could not be further off.”
ESPN first reported the news on Tuesday evening that the Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta were selling the UFC and that four bidders were in contention. It was believed that the winning bid was somewhere in the neighborhood of 3.5 to 4 billion dollars.
The four bidders in the potential UFC sale are said to be China Media Capital, The Blackstone Group and Dalian Wanda Group. Ariel Helwani of MMAFighting.com reported that the Wanda Group is the front-runner and an announcement regarding a sale could come out as soon as July.

Shortly after the news came out on Tuesday that BJ Penn vs. Dennis Siver would serve as the main event of the preliminary card for next month’s UFC 199 event, the fight itself was scrapped.
BJPenn.com was the first to report the news that Siver has suffered an undisclosed injury and had to pull out of the scheduled fight against “The Prodigy” as a result.
As of this writing, there is no word as to whether or not Penn will remain on the card. Penn last fought in 2014, dropping a third fight to former UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar. He was scheduled to make his Octagon return at UFC 199 against Siver next month. We will keep you posted regarding Penn’s UFC 199 status.
UFC 199 takes place on Sarturday, June 4, 2016 at The Forum in Inglewood, California.
