Joe Rogan Doesn’t Think Ronda Rousey Will Return To UFC

During a recent episode of his “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, Joe Rogan said that he doesn’t believe Ronda Rousey will return to the UFC after her 48-second KO loss to UFC bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes at UFC 207. Here are highlights:

On if Rousey fights again: “I don’t think she is (going to fight again). Amanda Nunes is a very, very dangerous puncher. She kicks and punches so (expletive) hard, and she has long arms. She puts you on the end of those long punches, and she dinged Ronda very early in the fight, and you could tell she was rocked.”

On how she could come back if she wanted to: “If she does, she should come back in a calculated manner. Don’t just rush in and fight for the title like she did. I think that’s crazy. Taking a year off taking a head kick getting knocked out – where’s your head at? Was she 100 percent committed to this as far as training for the entire time off, or did she just get in really good shape over the last few months and had she been training at all before then? You’d have to ask her and answer all those questions, but if she doesn’t want to be fighting, she shouldn’t be fighting.”
