Ronda Rousey Set To Return To UFC To Face Amanda Nunes

On December 30, Ronda Rousey will return to the octagon at UFC 207 with a chance to win back the women's bantamweight championship that she lost in November 2015 to Holly Holm.

Yeah, that's right, you're going to have to get used to us whittling on about Rousey again because the former champ is back in just over two-and-a-half months' time.

Back in November 2015, Rousey was knocked out by Holm in Australia with a brutal kick to the face that ended her undefeated record. Holm then lost the title to Miesha Tate, who in turn lost the belt to Amanda Nunes at UFC 200.

Now Rousey has the chance to take on Nunes to reclaim the belt in her return to the octagon, more than a year after her last fight.

When she was beaten by Holm last year, the defeat sent shockwaves through the sport and it led to her having to take a year off due to her facial injuries.

Many would have liked to have seen Rousey take on Holm as a rematch before she got another title shot. But either way, it'll be incredible to see her back in action.
