Ronda Rousey Clears the Air on UFC Comeback Rumors

Ronda Rousey isn’t planning a UFC return — no matter how many call-outs come her way.

TMZ Sports recently caught up with the former UFC Champion, and when asked if she’s gearing up for a comeback, Rousey made it crystal clear that fighting isn’t on her radar right now. Instead, she’s focused on something far more personal: rebuilding her confidence after giving birth.

“Uh, no, actually, I’m running late to the gym and I have to go right now, but I just had a baby, you know what I mean?” Rousey said. “I’m just trying to get my bodily identity back and nothing more. I’m just enjoying being in the gym again and feeling a lot better and healthier. Have you ever had kids? Well, it just feels really good to get that freedom of movement back, you know, and just train for the love of it again. I feel like that’s something that got lost before. So yeah, I’m just really enjoying myself.”

That hasn’t stopped fans — or fighters — from stirring up the speculation. After training privately for several months, Rousey’s name started getting thrown around again, with MMA figures like Cris Cyborg calling her out for a potential bout. But according to Rousey, she’s not trying to throw hands — she’s trying to reclaim her own peace.

For a fighter who once dominated the UFC bantamweight division, it’s a different kind of victory. Rousey’s journey from MMA to WWE and now into motherhood has been full of pivots, and while some fans are still holding out hope for one last Octagon walk, Rousey seems perfectly content leaving that part of her legacy in the past — at least for now.

Whether Ronda Rousey eventually finds herself back in the cage is anybody’s guess, but right now, she’s not chasing championships — she’s chasing herself.
