RONDA’S CAREER UNDER THREAT Ronda Rousey will NOT fight at UFC 205 casting further doubt over her future in the sport
RONDA ROUSEY will not fight at UFC 205 when MMA returns to New York in November.
Rousey’s career took a turn for the worst after her shocking defeat to Holly Holm in November last year in her first ever defeat in which she lost her bantamweight title.
UFC president Dana White revealed the news that Rousey wont be fighting on the UFC unfiltered podcast.
White said: ”She’s definitely not fighting in New York, I’m actually going to start building the New York card this week”.
With Rousey not appearing it leaves questions over who will be on the card for November with her huge global appeal set to be a massive miss.

The city to many is still the fighting capital of the world and the headlines had almost been written of Rousey’s return.
However Rousey’s male counterpart Conor McGregor has stated he wishes to fight after his thrilling win over Nate Diaz.

McGregor would likely be the first name on the card but there is huge doubt that he could headline the spectacle.
Fans have been waiting many years to see the sports biggest stars take centre stage at Maddison Square Gardens but are now left with the huge prospect of not seeing the very best fighters.
It will be a huge blow for UFC not to have the very best to showcase as the sports rapid increase in popularity famed mostly by the characters of the fighters and the brutality that erupts inside the arena.
