Despite recent confirmation that inaugural bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey is not currently weighing up a rumored return to the UFC, the Riverside native has been urged to consider an Octagon comeback, by the outspoken former gold holder, Julianna Peña.
Peña, the current number one ranked bantamweight contender, has yet to return to the Octagon since she headlined a UFC 277 pay-per-view event last July in Texas, suffering a one-sided unanimous decision loss to two-time foe and common-opponent, Amanda Nunes in the pair’s title rematch.
Also last featuring in the Octagon against the retired former two-weight champion, Nunes, Californian veteran, Rousey, who has since turned her talents to professional wrestling under the WWE banner, suffered a 48-second TKO loss to the Brazilian back in 2016.
