Rhonda Rousey should pull a GSP and come back for one fight

[ArtardFiesta]

It's pretty obvious pena wants nothing to do with kayla harrison. Pena also wants a big money fight. Harrison who is 34 and recovering in hospital from her last cut only has one or two fights at this weight before she retires or is too old to make the weight. So if pena wants none of her all she has to take another justifiable fight in one year, then offer to fight harrison the next year where it will be even tougher for kayla to make weight. Remeber pena fights once a year.

Pena is crap. her stand up is embarassing, and her most impressive attribute is she is tough as nails and doesn't give up.

Basically Pena is the perfect matchup for Rhonda to return to one fight, win the belt once more and leave on top. I don't see Pena having anything for Rhonda. Pena will jump on the match as it will be a huge story. The comeback story etc will make it a huge ppv, I think even more so then Nunes coming back. While people say Nunes is the GOAT she didn't captivate the US market the way Rhonda did.

This fight could headline a ppv on it's own. And you can have something like phantasia defending or colby/masvidal 2 as the co main event.

Ronda vs. Gina at UFC 300 was the time. Coming back does nothing for her legacy and everyone now knows she can't take a punch.

The difference is that GSP retired the first time on a win, while Ronda retired crying into a pillow after two straight brutal KOs

But since this will make money and it's UFC in 2024, I could see this happening

This actually isn’t the worst idea. It’ll never happen tho.

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

Ronda is such a mental midget, it's kind of crazy.

I can't believe she came back and fought Nunes even.

 

[NoSmilez]

Too fat.

 

[Clark Rogers]

Ronda is 37 years old, and nearly 8 years out from her last performance (a brutal KO). This would be a terrible idea.

 

[Dana's Moonface]

You really want to see this again?

I've spent 40 years in my mom's basement, with one hand down my jocks and the other eating cheese puffs and even I find that photo absolutely pathetic

That decision vs Hendricks was total BS. Him not giving big rig a rematch after that was an all time scumbag move.

To come back years later against one of the worst MW champs ever in a fight against Bisping was shitty too.

 

[joy2day]

There is absolutely no comparing a Ronda comeback to GSP's for too many reasons to bother listing. Ronda would not match up well at this point against any champion, even Pena. She hasn't improved her skills by doing pro wrestling and farming.

I don't like Pena either, but I'm not going to pretend Ronda would win. Pena actually gave Amanda 2 decent fights, and we saw what happened to Ronda against Amanda. And that was back when Ronda was actually training continuously for a long period of time.

They better find an opponent that can't strike and doesn't have TD defense if Ronda is coming back.

 

[gondo]

She’s made it clear she won’t even attend an event for fear of being booed out of the arena.

Don't think Ronda would get licensed after talking about her concussion issues

Her knees apparently had a lot of concussions too - B Schaub.

Interesting take. Pena doesn't have the best striking technique but she's tough as nails. She has enough skill, experience, and raw power to TKO Harrison and Rousey. I might add her striking and grappling is light years better than some of the slobs I saw on last weekend's card.

 

[ninja boot]

hey i'm all for hypothetical fights but even in the land of hypothetical Ronda still gets completely destroyed by any modern ranked wmma fighter.

And he'd only been on the shelf for 4 years, not 8 like Ronda. When he did come back he was also just slightly younger than she is now.

 

[Lawrence]

Too late.... Would watch

 

[JKS]

She hasn't fought in 8 years, worse thing to do. She would take a beating.

 

[Daniel_LaRusso]

You’d be surprised how much Ronda’s skills will have regressed.

And Pena isn’t as bad as you’re saying. She put some damage on Nunes even in the 2nd fight.

Ronda wouldn’t get past people like Eileen Perez at this point.
