Ronda Rousey has been the talk of the town regarding her soon-ending contract with WWE. Rumor has it that Rowdy will soon be making her comeback in the MMA and leaving professional wrestling. 

Ronda is rumored to join the featherweight division of the UFC in the near future. There have been a couple of hints that have led folks to believe that Rowdy will be seen inside the octagon soon.

The primary cue is Rousey's current contract status with WWE. It is believed that she will not be re-negotiating the contract once it concludes, which makes the probability of her returning stronger.

Ronda is also currently seen in a Draftking advertisement that dropped on July 8, 2023. Rowdy is advertising the organization for the upcoming UFC event, UFC 290. Which adds to the probability.

Additionally, featherweight competitor Chelsea Chandler admitted to hearing some rumblings behind the scenes regarding the comeback of Ronda Rousey at her UFC 77 media day.

"There really is no Bantamweight champion. But I’ve been hearing Ronda’s coming back at ‘45. So, you never know." said featherweight competitor, Chandler.

Rousey fought her last UFC fight in December 2016 where she lost against one of the most successful female fighters of all time Amanda Nunes in less than a minute via a technical knockout at UFC 207.

Following her loss, Rowdy took her retirement from the field of MMA and embarked on her Professional wrestling journey. Now only time will tell if Rousey will finish what she left off in UFC or not.
