Dana White denies Ronda Rousey slot on UFC 300 in stunning fighting return: ‘She’s not coming back’

Inaugural bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey has been definitively ruled from a retirement-snapping comeback to the Octagon at UFC 300 in April, with promotional CEO, Dana White revealing the promotion never offered the Riverside the option of making her comeback on the flagship event.

Rousey, the organization’s first-ever bantamweight champion, has been continually linked with a stunning return to mixed martial arts competition in the last number of months, particularly following her departure wrestling organization, WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment).

However, despite numerous call outs from the likes of former bantamweight champion and two-time foe, Miesha Tate for a trilogy fight at UFC 300 in April, reports confirmed late last year how the Californian was not interested in making a stunning return to the Octagon at the moment, with the view of having another child with long-time partner, UFC heavyweight veteran, Travis Browne.
