Overview
- Speaking after UFC 323, Dana White dismissed reports of a Ronda Rousey vs. Katie Taylor bout as “total bulls***” and said no talks are happening.
- White added that any decision to fight again rests with Rousey and praised her professionalism, citing his past endorsement to WWE.
- Early-month reports had suggested exploratory discussions for a 2026 boxing match, and Katie Taylor later said she was open to the idea despite first hearing of it from media stories.
- Rousey’s recent MMA training video reignited comeback chatter as managers floated opponents such as Kayla Harrison, who remains focused on Amanda Nunes at UFC 324.
- Commentary has proposed Gina Carano as a more plausible or historically meaningful matchup for Rousey, with concerns also noted about Rousey’s long layoff and health.
