The worst kept secret in MMA was confirmed tonight on 'The Herd' when Dana White sat down to give what had been promised as a 'big announcement'.
Speculation had been mounting in recent days that Ronda Rousey was set to return to the octagon and take on Amanda Nunes for the women's bantamweight title, and that is exactly what Dana confirmed as well as setting a date for the bout.
Ronda Rousey will fight Amanda Nunes, who claimed he title from Meisha Tate at UFC 200, on December 30th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for UFC 207.
It's a very interesting fight, and credit must go to Colin Cowherd for immediately asking what most will have thought following the announcement... Is Amanda Nunes, an explosive striker, a bad matchup for Ronda?
Ronda is back!
It's going to be a very interesting fight, as if Rousey approaches Nunes with the naivety that she showed in facing Holly Holm, the outcome will almost surely be similar. Nunes proved in steamrolling Meisha Tate that she is a very dangerous woman, so all eyes will be on the T-Mobile Arena on December 30th to see how the former champ responds.
