UFC legend Ronda Rousey tipped for STUNNING return to octagon seven years after quitting to join WWE

UFC legend Ronda Rousey has been tipped to making a stunning octagon comeback — seven years after quitting for WWE.

Rousey, 36, was once the top name in MMA after featuring in UFC’s first-ever all-female fight.

The MMA icon is currently starring in WWECredit: WWE

But Rousey called time on her fighting career in 2016 after back-to-back defeats against Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes.

Bowing out with 12 wins from 14, she was then snapped up by WWE in 2018 - the same year she became a UFC Hall of Famer.

And Rousey has since gone on to become a three-time world champion.

However, ‘Rowdy’ could now be on her way back to UFC in a shock U-turn.

Chief Dana White is reportedly seeking a new star name for the women’s division after Nunes’ recent retirement.

And UFC commentator Jon Anik reckons Rousey could jump at the chance to make a sensational return.

The path could be made even smoother after UFC’s merger with WWE in April.

Anik said: “If anyone is worthy of that type of opportunity, it’s probably Ronda Rousey.

“And I do believe she would be competitive because she would not enter that setting without the guarantee that she would be competitive.

“If ever there was a time, it would be absolutely now.

“I’m not going to suggest she’d be a betting favourite against Julianna Pena or Raquel Pennington.

“But I can understand why people would be excited at the possibility.”
