Just a couple of days after making it seem like Ronda Rousey’s UFC career is most likely nearing an end, UFC President Dana White had more to say about her future with the promotion company in a recent interview with TMZ Sports.
He doesn’t exactly say word for word that “Ronda Rousey doesn’t have it anymore”, but he did say this in his interview with TMZ Sports.
“This sport is very, very tough, man. You have to stay on top of your game and it’s a young man and young woman sport. Throughout the history of time in fighting, one day you just show up and you don’t have it anymore. It has always happened that way. You never know when it’s going to come, it creeps up on you and it’s a rough sport.”
He was talking about the sport in general, but it seems like a nice way to say that he thinks Rousey is done without actually naming any names in his comment.
White also happened to say this just a few days after he said this on the UFC Unfiltered podcast.
"Her spirits are good and she's doing her own thing," White said. "In the conversation I had with her, if I had to say right here, right now -- and I don't like saying right here, right now because it's up to her, it's her thing -- but I wouldn't say she fights again. I think she's probably done.
"I think she's going to ride off in the sunset and start living her life outside of fighting."
Rousey certainly doesn’t need to step into the octagon anymore. She has already accomplished so much in her career and has opened the door for so many women who are now full-time fighters in the UFC.
However, we totally understand if she doesn’t want to quit just yet, because she is a fighter and fighters don’t just quit when the going gets tough.
