Din Thomas Says Ronda Rousey Should Not Be Cleared for MMA Return

Thomas' warning spotlights licensing doubts tied to Rousey's prior concussion disclosures.

Overview

  • UFC analyst Din Thomas told MMA Junkie she “shouldn’t even be cleared” to fight and called booking her “irresponsible” because of her documented concussion issues.
  • Rousey disclosed in her 2024 memoir that she suffered concussions and hid symptoms for years, and she has said she also concealed that history during her WWE stint.
  • Recent training clips and remarks about rediscovering a love for MMA have fueled speculation, yet there is no announced bout, medical clearance, or contract.
  • Dana White noted Rousey looks in shape but said he does not know her intentions, and outlets report commissions could closely review any bid to compete, including the proposed June 2026 White House event.
  • Asked on Oct. 11 by TMZ about a comeback, Rousey said she is enjoying training after having a baby and offered no commitment to return to competition.
