Will Ronda Rousey Truly Ever Be The Same?

Four months have passed since former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey was shockingly dethroned by Holly Holm at UFC 193, but the mixed martial arts (MMA) world still waits on pins and needles for the announcement of ‘Rowdy’s’ return. Still the queen of MMA and most recognized athlete in the UFC, the popular fighter/movie

Still the queen of MMA and most recognized athlete in the UFC, the popular fighter/movie star teased this week that she could now bite an apple online, one of her gauges to test her readiness to potentially return to the cage, and indeed, there are some signs that may point to her coming back relatively soon.

However, there are possibly even more signs that suggest she may not, and the serious nature of those could also point to her being a shell of her former self even if she does decide to come back.

Overall, it’s a polarizing debate that undoubtedly has the entire sport of MMA wondering just what will happen next. Let’s take a look at some of the factors why – or why not – Rousey will be her dominant self once again.

The Cyborg Talk Is Ramping Up For UFC 198

Reigning Invicta FC featherweight champion Cris “Cyborg” Justino may finally be making her UFC debut in the near future. While it most certainly won’t be the long sought-after super fight against former women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, UFC Tonight’s Ariel Helwani reported that the UFC is considering booking Justino at May’s UFC 198 in her

Reigning Invicta FC featherweight champion Cris “Cyborg” Justino may finally be making her UFC debut in the near future.

While it most certainly won’t be the long sought-after super fight against former women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, UFC Tonight’s Ariel Helwani reported that the UFC is considering booking Justino at May’s UFC 198 in her home of Brazil.

The fearsome slugger recently expressed her desire in fighting at this event:

“It has been almost 10 years since I last fought in my home country of Brazil,” Justino recently wrote on her website. “I am very lucky that over the last decade my Brazilian fans have continued to support me and my career as I chased my dreams as a world champion, while living and competing in America.”

“This May the UFC will be promoting an event in my hometown of Curitiba, Brazil, a city very rich in fight history. It would be an honor to return back to the city I was born in, and to step inside of the Octagon with an opportunity to prove myself as one of the best female fighters in the sport.”

It would be interesting to see what the UFC could come up with given the fact that the promotion doesn’t currently have a women’s 145-pound division.

Aside from Rousey, however, reigning 135-pound queen Miesha Tate, as well as former champion Holly Holm have both previously voiced their interest in a bout with “Cyborg”. Tate recently defeated Holm via submission at March 5’s UFC 196, and “The Preacher’s Daughter” has already stated she wants to get back into the Octagon as soon as possible.

Although it’s very short notice, a catchweight bout at 140 versus “Cyborg” would be a massive draw for the already packed card, which features heavyweight legend Fabricio Werdum defending his belt against Stipe Miocic.

Justino, who has attempted to cut down to bantamweight in the past, is well aware that the UFC doesn’t host her division at the moment:

“I know that the UFC does not have my division,” Justino recently wrote, “which is why I am asking my fans to help make this fight.”

A knockout machine, “Cyborg” has long been a household name amongst female fighters, and her jump to the UFC has always seemed inevitable given her drawing power.

Could that move be coming as soon as May?

Winkeljohn Predicts Holm-Tate II Is Next, “Rousey Isn’t Close To Coming Back Anyway”

https://youtu.be/agpSQ_GECWY

While it appears likely that Miesha Tate will be standing across the cage when Ronda Rousey makes her eventual UFC return later this year, if the emerging Hollywood actress ever fights Holly Holm in a rematch as was originally intended, Holm’s coach Mike Winkeljohn is confident that the outcome will be similar to the first Rousey-Holm bout.

Winkeljohn spoke about a potential Rousey-Holm rematch during his appearance this week on Submission Radio.

“You know what, I think that Ronda knows that she’s already beaten Miesha twice. So if she’s going to come back, I think she was a little intimidated by Holly coming back and that, you know, it won’t change her fight with Ronda. I’m still very confident that if Holly fights Ronda it would be the same outcome again just because the way their styles are, and I think it will be different next time she fights Miesha. I think Miesha has improved as a fighter and I think she’s tremendous at what she does, so I love the competition and I think the fans want to see more of it, what these ladies can do.”

According to Winkeljohn, however, Rousey isn’t “anywhere close to coming back anyway.”

“I don’t think Ronda Rousey is anywhere close to coming back anyway. So hopefully Miesha is willing to pay back Holly. Holly didn’t wait for Ronda, gave Miesha a shot at it and hopefully Miesha repays the favour.”

Jon Jones: Holly Holm Will Be A UFC Champion Again

Jon Jones is confident that former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm get the title belt back one day. Following her loss to Miesha Tate at UFC 196, Jones explained why he has “no doubt” Holm will bounce back. Jones and Holm are training teammates at JacksonWink MMA.

“I’m not worried about Holly too much. I know for a fact that her best is yet to come. It really is. She will hold the belt again,” Jones told FOX Sports. “No doubt in my mind.”

“Holly’s an amazing champion. She’s an amazing person, an amazing citizen. She will be back from this so much stronger. Holly, she’s a rookie in this sport and with that being said, she’s one of the greatest of all time already. So her potential is just sky high. I mean there’s no cap on her potential,” Jones said.

“Just wait till she gets the game down. She’s going to be scary,” Jones said. “It would be great for Ronda (Rousey) and for Miesha Tate for Holly to go and crawl up and feel as if her dreams were crushed tonight, but literally they know that was one of the worst things that could have happened to them. Holly’s going to come back with some serious vengeance.”

Holm is expected to face the winner of Ronda Rousey vs. Tate 3 later this year. Jones will next fight Daniel Cormier at UFC 197 on April 23rd in his octagon return.
