Cris Cyborg isn’t buying the rumors that Ronda Rousey will make her boxing debut next year.
The former UFC bantamweight queen will reportedly face Katie Taylor in a bout targeted for the summer of 2026. Rousey has not competed in combat sports since suffering a first-round stoppage loss to Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 in December 2016. Recent videos on social media of the Olympic judoka training fueled speculation regarding a potential comeback, but news of a foray into the Sweet Science was not what anyone would have expected.
