10 Spine-Tingling UFC Homecomings
5. Ronda Rousey (California, UFC 157)
UFC 157 didn't just signify a welcome return to Ronda Rousey's home state of California, it also established her place in the company's history as one of the first women to fight under the UFC banner and she also ended the night as the first woman to defend a belt on a UFC card.
If you add all that up and then sprinkle the nuclear home crowd excitement into the mix, you find yourself with a combination of factors that led to one of the most adoring atmospheres ever to be heard on PPV.
Even though the moment itself was game-changing, Rousey wasn't here to be a token fighter on the night. She turned up and tapped out Liz Carmouche inside the first round, announcing to the world her intentions to cement herself as The Baddest Woman on the Planet.
UFC's multiple women's divisions are one of the defining draws of the company in 2019 and it's because of heart-warming reactions like this that Dana White has little choice but to push his talented women into stealing the show on any card possible.
This atmospheric Rousey home win kicked off her indomitable era in the Bantamweight division, though few nights ever matched the level of support she received in this epic homecoming.
