White: Rousey will fight for the belt
Whenever Ronda Rousey does return, UFC President Dana White said today that it will be for the title, whomever the champion is at the time.
Recently Ronda Rousey revealed she is interested in returning this fall, and maybe at the UFC’s debut in New York at Madison Square Garden. Whenever she does return, UFC President Dana White said today that it will be for the title, whomever the champion is:
“She’s definitely part of the discussion (for New York) and she will fight whoever has that belt when she comes back,” UFC president Dana White said about Rousey on the “Beadle and Shelburne” podcast.
“Miesha (Tate), she’s fighting on (UFC) 200 and she might fight again before that. She wants to fight. We’ll see what happens. Miesha’s been the No. 2 baddest woman in the world for years so for her to stay active makes sense,” White said.
“What’s cool about that 135-pound division is everybody is fighting right now. The only one who isn’t fighting right now is Holly. Miesha, she’s fighting Amanda Nunes, who’s very, very tough, so if anything crazy happens and she came out of that fight with a quick win, 100 percent healthy she could turn around and fight again and then fight Ronda.”
