UFC Analyst Doubts Ronda Rousey’s Fitness for Comeback Fight as Rumors Swirl

UFC analyst Din Thomas has raised concerns about Ronda Rousey’s possible return to mixed martial arts. Despite Rousey sharing training videos and newfound enthusiasm for the sport, Thomas doubts her fitness for a comeback fight, considering her previous concussion issues.

Concerns About Rousey’s Health

In a discussion with MMAJunkie’s Mike Bohn, Thomas questioned Rousey’s readiness for a return to the ring. He highlighted potential irresponsibility in allowing her to compete again due to her history of concussion problems, suggesting this could harm the sport’s reputation.

Past Performance and Current Situation

Rousey’s last fight was in 2016 when she suffered a 48-second TKO loss to Amanda Nunes. Given the potential health risks, Thomas believes Rousey should stay out of the Octagon.

UFC Leadership’s Perspective

UFC CEO Dana White has also shared insights into Rousey’s current situation. While confirming ongoing talks with her, he expressed uncertainty about her fighting future. Recently, she visited the UFC offices in Las Vegas, adding to the speculation.

Personal Developments

Rousey has experienced significant personal changes, including the birth of three children. Despite these life shifts, she has returned to training, showcasing her physical fitness. White noted her former victories over fighters such as Miesha Tate and Liz Carmouche, which still hold significant influence in the MMA community.

As rumors about her comeback swirl, both Thomas and White underscore the complex factors influencing Rousey’s decision-making process.
