10 Reasons UFC Woman's Champion Ronda Rousey Might Lose Her Belt Within A Year

4. Cat's Back

She has overcome injury and personal tragedy. Cat Zingano defeated Miesha Tate to earn a spot on The Ultimate Fighter 18 coaching opposite Ronda Rousey and facing her at the end of the season for her bantamweight championship. Then she blew out her knee, and while rehabbing the injury, had to cope with the death of her husband. It's been a long hard road for Cat, but she is finally back, set to meet Amanda Nunes in September. If she wins, it's likely she'll be granted the next title shot against Rousey, and she deserves it, being one of the biggest threats to Rowdy's title reign. Will ring rust impact her? Will she fall to Nunes in a surprise upset? It's unlikely (though should it happen, a case could be made for a Nunes title shot). Either way, one of the most exciting opponents for Rousey is back in action.
