Ronda Rousey is back: having not fought in over a year since her shock defeat to Holly Holm, Rousey takes on Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 on December 30th. Naturally, the fight has been sold on Rousey's comeback, in which may be one of her final fights with the UFC. Posters promoting the fight have led with the headline 'She's Back'.
The promo videos have focused on Rousey as well:
While this would seem like the natural selling point for the card, Joe Rogan does not approve. The UFC commentator tweeted that the lack of recognition for Nunes in the promotional videos aired during UFC Sacramento was "extremely bizarre".
I find it extremely bizarre that all these @UFC 207 promos only focus on Ronda and very little about the champion @Amanda_Leoa

Rogan has always been supportive of Rousey's achievements - he has said in the past that Rousey would knock out half of the men in the bantamweight division - he believes that Nunes' achievements warrant more recognition.

Rousey will have the opportunity to re-establish her position as the pre-eminent female in the sport on December 30th, and the female division has been anarchic since her shock defeat to Holly Holm a year ago. Holm then lost her first title defence to Miesha Tate, who in turn lost to Nunes.
