Ronda Rousey will make her highly anticipated return to mixed martial arts to take on champion Amanda Nunes for the bantamweight title at UFC 207 on December 30, 2016. The 29-year-old Rousey (12-1, 3 KOs and 9 submissions) hasn’t fought since November 15, 2015, when she was knocked out by Holly Holm at UFC 193. Heading into that fight, Rousey was undefeated and the bantamweight champion, so her defeat was a massive upset that sparked a million hilarious memes.
After a long layoff, Rousey is back and ready to prove that she is still the greatest female fighter on the planet. Standing in her way is Amanda Nunes (13-4, 9 KOs and 3 submissions), who became the bantamweight champion by beating Miesha Tate via a rear-naked choke submission at UFC 200 on July 9, 2016. This will be the 28-year-old’s first ever title defense, and it doesn’t get much tougher than having to face a vengeful Rousey.
The oddsmakers have this as a pretty even matchup, as currently Rousey is a (-165) favorite and Nunes is a (+135) underdog. Now that the stage has been set for this must-see event, let’s break down everything you need to know about UFC 207.
