Ronda Rousey has been having her way in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Women's bantamweight division but it looks like the undefeated female UFC fighter is planning to call it quits when she reaches her 30s. This Rousey shared during a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
She is currently 28 years old and has so far been dominant. No female fighter has been able to give her some semblance of a fight and from the looks of it, such will continue.
Holly Holm is, of course, next in line to try; but this early, the former boxer is seen to suffer the same plight as her predecessors, although it would be wise not to totally count her out completely just yet.
Holm admits she has a inevitable task ahead against Rousey but says that no one is unbeatable. The thing is, it won't be easy; and heading into the November fight, Holm is already expecting a tough night ahead.
The first thing that she has to do is last more than a round, something that only one fighter has been able to do so far — Miesha Tate.
Assuming Rousey does win, who would be next? Cris "Cyborg" Justino?
It isn't the first time that her name has been mentioned. Before the Rousey vs. Holm joust, there was word that Justino was approached by the UFC for a possible December fight.
All that was shot down by UFC President Dana White, claiming nothing like that happened. And the whole thing died down when Rousey announced that her next opponent would be Holm, originally set for January 2016 before being moved to November 2015.
As far as Justino is concerned, it seems that Rousey feels that her career would be incomplete unless she gets a match against the Cyborg. It could happen after Rousey's tiff with Holm, although a lot would depend as well on what White thinks.
Remember that in order for that to happen, Justino would have to scale down to 135 pounds and fight at least once in that weight class.
If Rousey is indeed serious of calling it quits when she reaches her 30s, a fight with Justino could happen well before that. The question now is — when?
