Nobody in recent times has quite put a division on the map like Ronda Rousey did after her arrival to UFC in 2012.

Holding herself like the star she knew she was, Rousey obliterated all who stood before her and even transcended the sport with roles in films such as The Expendables 3, Entourage and Furious 7.

After dismantling Bethe Correia at UFC 190 in Brazil - bringing her earnings to an impressive $1,080,000 in just 1,077 seconds of work inside the Octagon - her next opponent would change her MMA career forever.

Two months after her sixth victory in UFC, Rousey lost her title to Holly Holm in the main event of UFC 193 and decided to go on a yearlong hiatus after the shocking defeat.

It was her first loss and ended her three-year reign as champ.

How would she react? Would this be the end of 'Rowdy' Ronda Rousey's domination inside the cage?

Fans had to wait an excruciating year to find out, but the stage was finally set for the return of one of the company's biggest stars at UFC 207 - she would be taking on current Bantamweight champ, Amanda Nunes.

Rousey was dispatched in just 48 seconds, but the anticipation for this follow-up to her devastating thrashing was palpable to say the least.
