Demetrious Johnson affirmed during his recent appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show that Ronda Rousey could return to the UFC and find success in the women’s bantamweight division.
“If she comes back I think she’ll be fine. In the women’s bantamweight division I don’t feel like the generation has really moved past her skill set. I think the only fault she could have is someone very athletic like Amanda Nunes. And somebody who knows how to counter her judo… I think she could come back and make a lot of money,” Johnson said.
