White: Ronda Rousey will fight for title upon return, likely in first New York event

UFC president Dana White has laid out the plans for Ronda Rousey's comeback.

Former UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey has been out of action since she was knocked out by Holly Holm in the second round of their main event fight at UFC 193 last November in Melbourne.

Rousey was given a six-month medical suspension after the fight, and was expected to make a return in time for UFC 200 on July 9th. However, these plans were pushed back, due to delays in the filming of the remake of the 80’s classic "Road House", in which she holds the starring role.
