UFC president Dana White talked with TMZ Sports recently and does not believe we will see Ronda Rousey compete inside the Octagon again. After taking more than a year off, Rousey returned in December and was finished inside of the first round by the hands of Amanda Nunes.
<blockquote class='quote\\_blockquote'><dl><dt>Quote:</dt><dd> </dd></dl><div>"It's no different than any other sport. When you're a professional athlete and you're performing at a certain level, the day comes when you don't anymore," White said. "It happened to Ronda. This sport is very, very tough. You have to stay on top of your game and it's a young man and young woman's sport. Throughout the history of time in fighting, one day you just show up and you don't have it anymore. It always happened that way."[/quote]
Rousey had been unbeaten in her career until falling to Holly Holm in 2015 in Australia for the UFC female bantamweight title. She was granted an immediate rematch upon returning, but Nunes finished her in 48 seconds.
