Dana White on Ronda Rousey's UFC Return: ‘She'll Be Back'
As days pass since her last fight in November 2015, one can’t help but wonder if Ronda Rousey is ever coming back to the UFC.
With doubt filling MMA’s airspace of late, UFC President Dana White hopes to breathe confidence in those asking about the former UFC champ’s return.
According to White, you have nothing to worry about.
“I just saw her recently, talked to her recently and she’s back in training,” White said on the UFC Unfiltered podcast earlier this week. “This isn’t the first time Ronda’s ever lost. She’s been an athlete her whole life, you know… Obviously Ronda is a very unique individual and has her own way of dealing with things. Apparently, this is the way she wants to deal with it. She’ll be back, though. She’ll be back.”

UFC fans last saw Rousey in the Octagon suffering her first career loss. Holly Holm, at UFC 193, headkicked Rousey into unconsciousness and took the 135-pound title as a result.
The months that passed since then have been full of uncertainty about when Rousey would come back to fighting. Some assumed she would be back for the landmark UFC 200 event, but that was not the case. There was also an inclination she would compete on the UFC’s first card in New York, UFC 205. However, knee surgery has pushed her return back to as early as December or even next year.
Regardless of the amount of time Rousey takes off before her return, White said she deserves all the time that only she sees fit.
“As far as time off, nobody’s worked harder. This girl for the last three and a half years has busted her ass in this sport, doing her thing and for the UFC,” he said. “She can take as much time off as she needs.”
