After recent loss, Ronda Rousey done fighting according to UFC President Dana White

By

After her recent loss to Amanda Nunes in just 48 seconds, UFC President Dana White believes that former women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is done fighting.

It was the first back-to-back loss for Ronda Rousey. Her match against Nunes was her first more than a year after losing her belt to Holly Holm at UFC 193 in November 2015. Since her latest loss, Rousey had still not made any statement regarding her fighting career fueling speculations that she is indeed done fighting. According to The Guardian, UFC President Dana White revealed that he believes that the former champion is done fighting.

"In the conversation I had her with her, if I had to say right here right now, and I don't like saying anything because it's up to her, but I wouldn't say she fights again. I think she's probably done and she's going to ride off into the sunset and live her life outside of fighting." White said via the UFC Unfiltered podcast.

Rousey rose from the ranks to become the first UFC women's champion. From being a bronze medalist in the 2008 Olympics, Rousey went unbeaten as an amateur. She went 12-0 as a professional and had 6 successful title defenses before her loss to Holm.

According to MMA Weekly, her defeat to Holm was devastating for Rousey. She took it hard and took more than year to comeback in the Octagon. Her loss to Amanda Nunes did not help her cause and even made things worse.

In an article published in Business Insider, Yahoo's Kevin Iole revealed that the former bantamweight champion has several non-fighting projects. She is set to star in the remake of "Road House" and in a movie adaptation of her life. She is also slated to produce movies for Lifetime. For this reason, Iole believes that Rousey will never be able to make an official announcement of her retirement.

If Ronda does decide to put an end to her fighting career, White can only appreciate what she has done for UFC. "She came in [and] she changed the world. She put female fighting on the map. She's been part of the biggest fights in the history of women's fighting and I hope those records can be broken."
