"Maybe it means they still miss me"- Ex-WWE Superstar Ronda Rousey opens up about getting back into UFC
Former WWE Superstar Ronda Rousey recently shared her honest opinion on returning to UFC. Rousey left the MMA company back in the year 2016, after losing to Amanda Nunes in the main event at UFC 207.
She made her WWE debut in 2018, where she won several championships to her name before announcing her retirement in October 2023 on her social media. However, a few days later, Rousey came out of retirement and competed in a couple of matches in the independent circuits. She even made her ROH debut in November 2023. Following that, The Baddest Women on The Planet announced her memoir "Our Fight" and during the promotion, she took multiple jabs at both the company and the former CEO Vince McMahon.
Speaking with Justin Barrasso for Sports Illustrated, Rousey opened up regarding her return to UFC. She mentioned how she loves the fact that people still ask her about the return, adding that although she always wanted to be a mother, she would like to return to UFC whenever she can.
"I appreciate when people ask. Maybe it means they still miss me. If I could, I definitely would. If I want to have a whole basketball team full of kids, I can’t take any more detours. I’ve always wanted to be a mom with a lot of kids," she said.
