Ronda Rousey appears in advert promoting UFC 290, sends fans into raptures amid rumors of Octagon return

Amid continued links with an eventual return to mixed martial arts following a seven-year hiatus from combat sports, former UFC bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey has added fuel to the proverbial fire, after taking part in an advertisement promoting UFC 290 this weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Rousey, a former and inaugural bantamweight champion under the banner of the UFC, has been sidelined from the Octagon since headlining UFC 207 back in December 2016, suffering her second consecutive professional loss in a first round TKO loss to former two-weight champion, Amanda Nunes.

The defeat followed a stunning second round high-kick KO loss to former champion, Holly Holm in the pair’s bantamweight title fight the year prior.
