The absence of Ronda Rousey has certainly been felt by Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Outside of Conor McGregor, and Brock Lesnar every five years, the former women's Bantamweight champion is the biggest pay-per-view (PPV) draw in mixed martial arts (MMA) today. Hate her or love her, fans tune in to see Rousey step inside of the Octagon.
Since losing her title to Holly Holm back at UFC 193 via second-round knockout, Rousey has not made her return to the cage. In her absence, McGregor has carried the promotional torch with ginormous PPV events like UFC 194, UFC 196 and most recently UFC 202.
