If you were planning on skipping the pay-per-view of UFC 205 and opting for a grainy, foreign internet feed, you may want to reconsider.
Ronda Rousey is set for her return in a fight against Amanda Nunes at the Dec. 30 event at Madison Square Garden. And in a recent interview with Ellen Degeneres, the MMA superstar said the fight will be one of her last.

“Not that long, I’m wrapping it up,” Rousey said when asked how long she’ll keep fighting. “This is definitely one of my last fights. Everyone better watch, because the show’s not going to be around forever.”

Rousey, arguably the biggest star in the sport’s history, hasn’t stepped in the cage since her UFC 193 loss to Holly Holm in November 2015. The next month, Rousey said if she lost a rematch to Holm she would “be done with everything.”
Instead, the bantamweight belt has traded hands from Holm to Miesha Tate and now to Nunes.
UFC president Dana White has said the much-anticipated bout between Rousey and Cris “Cyborg” Justino will happen if Rousey manages to reclaim her title next month.
