3 Compelling Matchups For A Potential Ronda Rousey UFC Return (And 3 She Should Avoid)
4. Avoid: Amanda Nunes II
Wins over the likes of Cris Cyborg, Valentina Shevchenko, and Ronda Rousey prompted UFC President Dana White to call Amanda Nunes the greatest female mixed martial artist of all-time.
Nunes doesn't have any holes in her game and has shown devastating knockout power, which is why she holds both the bantamweight and flyweight titles.
In their 1st encounter, Rousey looked completely outclassed and was knocked out with relative ease by "The Lioness." Given that she's been focused on her WWE career, it's fair to assume that Rousey hasn't been working on improving her standup game.
Nunes is easily the scariest fighter in two divisiona right now and not the person one wants to see across the cage from them — particularly after an extended period of inactivity.
Rousey would need to spend months, years, or maybe even decades shoring up her boxing skills before she should even think about stepping in the octagon with Nunes again.
The former Olympian would certainly love to avenge the worst loss of her career, but she would be wise to resist the temptation to attempt such a lofty feat at this juncture.
There is no reason to believe that a rematch between these 2 legendary fighters would turn out any differently than their 1st encounter.
