Ronda Rousey likely ‘done fighting’ after Netflix bout vs. Gina Carano

Barring some special circumstances, Ronda Rousey’s return to mixed martial arts is likely a one-and-done scenario.

Rousey will compete for the first time since December 2016 when she faces Gina Carano in the main event of a Most Valuable Promotions card streamed via Netflix on May 16 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. While the former UFC bantamweight queen has appeared to be fully invested in her comeback, both in terms of training and in promotional efforts, she has no designs on sticking around for too long.

“I’m done fighting after this,” Rousey recently told “The Breakfast Club” (via MMAFighting.com). “Unless something goes down in this match that it deserves a trilogy from me and Gina. But I promised my husband, I promised my sister, everybody that this is my last one. I want to have more kids, too.”

Money Not an Issue

Rousey currently has two kids with her husband, former UFC heavyweight Travis Browne. The desire to focus on family surpasses any potential financial gains, and according to Rousey, money is not an issue.

“We make money so we can spend our time how we want, with who we want, where we want. I already have that,” Rousey said. “If I’m going spending time away from my family to make more money that’s not going to change our situation at all, what are you doing? It’s just dragon sickness.

“Keep in mind what you’re doing these things for. I’m doing it for them. I don’t want to spend more time away from them trying to get more money that they don’t need.”
