Ronda Rousey backed as ‘Worthy’ of vacant bantamweight title opportunity in rumored UFC comeback

Inaugural bantamweight champion, tturned WWE superstar, Ronda Rousey – has been linked with a potential comeback to professional mixed martial arts competition, and furthermore, the UFC, off the back of former-foe, Amanda Nunes’ retirement. And according to UFC play-by-play lead, Jon Anik, out of all the fighters to snap a retirement for an immediate title shot, Rousey is likely worthy.

Rousey, who boasts a 12-2 mixed martial arts record, most recently featured atop a UFC 207 pay-per-view event back in December 2018 against the aforenoted former two-division champion, Nunes – suffering a staggering 48-second TKO defeat to the Brazilian in an unsuccessful quest to reclaim bantamweight spoils.
