Former UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey has not competed in the UFC since her tough defeat by regining champion Amanda Nunes. Now, the former champion appears to be retired in all but name. UFC President Dana White recently sat down with ESPN to give his thoughts on the matter.
In an interview with ESPN, Dana White explained “I think people realize she’s probably going to retire.”
Speaking on Rousey’s avoidance of the public eye since her losses, White said “That’s not because she had to, that’s the way Ronda Rousey is built. Ronda Rousey is super competitive and doesn’t like to lose. I know she’s been criticized for that by a lot of people, but that’s just who she is and the way she is.
“And the way she is, is what made everybody get behind her. It’s what blew up the women’s divisions. Now she’s going to move on to the next chapter of her life, get married and have kids, do that thing. It’s not sad, it’s the way she wanted it.”
