The Ultimate Fighting Championship is pulling out the big guns to finish off a record-setting year.
In the headlining bout at UFC 207 on Friday, former women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey makes her return to the cage after more than a year away from the fight game. Rousey became one of the biggest stars in the sport between 2012 and 2015, rattling off six dominant title defenses and pushing the female side of MMA to new heights. All of that came to a halt in November 2015, her most recent appearance in the cage, when Rousey was knocked out in devastating fashion by Holly Holm.
