Chael Sonnen Downplays Ronda Rousey Comeback Talk as Media Weigh Matchups

Rousey last fought in 2016, with no return announced by her or the UFC.

Overview

  • Recent training clips and comments about rediscovering her love for MMA reignited discussion of a possible Ronda Rousey return.
  • Chael Sonnen said the videos do not indicate a real comeback, arguing she was forced out rather than voluntarily retired.
  • Bleacher Report floated speculative opponents, highlighting Kayla Harrison as a likely marquee option and Miesha Tate as a plausible matchup.
  • The outlet also posited a crossover spectacle with Floyd Mayweather Jr., presented as a hypothetical rather than a reported plan.
  • Rousey is 38 and nearly nine years removed from her last UFC fight, with decisive losses to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes underscoring skepticism about a competitive return.
