One possible challenger is the current UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Amanda Nunes. Nunes is a Brazilian mixed martial artist who has won 10 of her 13 fights. She is the current champion, and has defended her title twice.
Another possible challenger is the undefeated Cris Cyborg. Cyborg is a Brazilian mixed martial artist who competes in the Featherweight division. She is currently signed with the UFC, and is the former Strikeforce Women's Featherweight Champion. She is undefeated with a record of 17-0. Rousey has stated that she would like to fight Cyborg, but Cyborg has said that she does not want to fight Rousey because Rousey is "too small."
There are also a few other possible challengers who have been mentioned, including Julianna Peña and Valentina Shevchenko.
It is not yet known when Ronda Rousey will fight again, but it is expected that she will defend her title later this year. Amanda Nunes has already expressed interest in fighting Rousey at UFC 212 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil .We will have to wait and see who Rousey's opponent will be, but in the meantime there are plenty of other UFC events to enjoy.
Rousey is scheduled to return at UFC 207: Nunes vs. Rousey on December 30, 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada. She takes on fellow former world champion and Brazilian Amanda Nunes. Nunes is the current UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion, while Rousey is returning from a year-long hiatus. This will be Rousey's first fight since losing her title to Holly Holm in November 2015.However, Nunes has since announced she will not be ready for that date due to injuries and may need more recovery time. This could delay Rousey's return even further. It is also believed that Nunes wants a full camp against Rousey and to not take a short-notice fight.
It appears that we will just have to wait and see what happens. Keep checking back for updates!
