Ronda Rousey urged to avoid rumored return to the UFC: ‘Walk away and be a farmer’

Former undisputed UFC bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey has been urged to avoid a much-speculated return to the Octagon by former referee turned Bellator MMA color-commentator, John McCarthy, with the veteran claiming Rousey should turn her attention to farming instead.

Rousey, a former undisputed Strikeforce bantamweight champion an inaugural UFC bantamweight titleholder, has been sidelined from mixed martial arts competition since headlining UFC 207 back in December 2016.

Suffering her second career loss that night in Las Vegas, Nevada, Rousey dropped a stunning 48-second standing TKO loss to former undisputed featherweight and bantamweight titleholder, Amanda Nunes.
