Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey has been sharing new videos her mixed martial arts training, making some fans wonder if she was bluffing about not coming back to compete in 2026.
Even if there was a slim chance that Rousey would come out of retirement to compete on next year’s UFC White House card, it just doesn’t seem to be in the cards.
The 38-year-old Rousey, who has not competed in MMA since a 2016 knockout loss to Amanda Nunes, recently spoke to The Lapsed Fan Podcast about the possibility of competing in front of President Donald Trump.
“I am not fighting at the White House,” Rousey said.
“After Mike Tyson being the biggest fight of the year, you never say never.
“But I ain’t fighting at the f—-ing White House.
“Even if offered? I got better s— to do. My kid needs pasta!”
But now, in three new videos shared to Rousey’s social media accounts, it appears as if the UFC Hall of Famer might actually be fooling us.
Rousey, who is married to fellow former UFC fighter Travis Browne, gave birth to her second child, a girl named Liko’ula Pā’ūomahinakaipiha, in January.
