It was originally anticipated that Rousey would return to the Octagon in the fall, but now a minor surgery has set back her return to 2017:
I’m hoping we’re going to get Ronda back this year, White told ESPN’s SportsCenter earlier today. She actually just had surgery (on Wednesday) on her knee. Nothing serious – just get in there, scope it and clean it out a little bit. She feels great, her spirits are great, and she’s been training. So if she fights, I’m hoping that she either fights in December. Or if not, she’d probably fight on the New Year’s show or beginning of the year or something.
