Ronda Rousey appreciates the ongoing chatter about her potential return to the UFC, but she wants to put an end to all speculation by stating that she will not be making a comeback. Despite periodic rumors circulating, Rousey is firm in her decision, citing neurological issues stemming from her previous fights as the primary reason for her retirement.
Rousey disclosed that her MMA journey concluded due to a series of concussions she endured, starting from her childhood. The accumulation of these concussions had a detrimental impact on her neurological well-being, making it unfeasible for her to pursue fighting at a professional level. In retrospect, she admitted that she should have called it quits after her defeat to Holly Holm in 2015 but found it challenging to walk away at that moment.
Upon transitioning to WWE, Rousey continued to grapple with concussion problems, prompting her to shift her priorities towards her health and family rather than her athletic endeavors. She emphasized the significance of aging gracefully and setting an example for young athletes, cautioning against jeopardizing long-term health for short-lived achievements.
Now aged 37, Rousey is unwavering in her resolve to steer clear of a return to fighting, despite the persistent calls for her comeback. She stressed the importance of cherishing her well-being and family above fleeting moments of stardom, recognizing that the adulation and backing from fans can fade over time.
