Ronda Rousey on Returning to MMA: "I Can’t Take Any More Detours"

In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Ronda Rousey, the trailblazing former UFC bantamweight champion, addressed the perennial question: Will she ever return to MMA? The answer, it seems, is a heartfelt and definitive no.


"I appreciate when people ask. Maybe it means they still miss me," Rousey shared. "If I could, I definitely would. If I want to have a whole basketball team full of kids, I can’t take any more detours. I’ve always wanted to be a mom with a lot of kids."


Rousey's words resonate with the legions of fans who still remember her electrifying performances in the Octagon. Her swift rise to stardom, characterized by her armbar finishes and unrelenting dominance, left an indelible mark on the sport. Yet, Rousey has made it clear that her priorities have shifted to family and motherhood.


Beyond her aspirations of a bustling household, Rousey is channeling her creativity into a new venture: writing a graphic novel titled "Expecting the Unexpected." This project, currently seeking support on Kickstarter, is a testament to her enduring drive and passion for storytelling. Rousey hopes to see her graphic novel evolve into a screenplay or perhaps even a Netflix series, showcasing yet another facet of her multifaceted talent.


As she navigates this new chapter, Rousey’s influence remains undiminished. From her pioneering days in women’s MMA to her foray into WWE and now into the literary world, she continues to inspire with her resilience and versatility.


Whatever Rousey has planned next, Fight.TV is here for it. Her journey from the cage to the page is one that promises to be as compelling as her storied fighting career. We eagerly await what’s next for this extraordinary woman who has always defied expectations and continues to forge her unique path.
