Rousey unlikely to return for UFC 200
The UFC and fans were hopefully that a rematch between Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey would take place at 200, but that now seems unlikely.
The UFC and fans were hopefully that a rematch between Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey would take place at 200, but that now seems unlikely:
UFC president Dana White told Yahoo Sports on Tuesday that Rousey has asked for more time off and that she won’t fight, as planned, at UFC 200 in July. Rousey is set to star in the remake of “Roadhouse,” and the start of filming has been pushed back, White said.
As a result, she asked him for more time off before returning to the Octagon for the first time since she lost her title and perfect record to Holly Holm on Nov. 14.
“The filming of the movie got pushed back,” White said. “She could do both, but the question is, should she do both? She could do both, but why should she? The filming is in a time frame where she’d finish before 200, but it would be cutting it too close.”
