Rousey talks in-depth about her decision to return, how long she plans on competing still and even her relationship with fellow UFC fighter Travis Browne during the interview. Of note, the former Olympic bronze medalist sees UFC 207 as the beginning of the end for her at 29 years old.

"Not that long, I'm wrapping it up," Rousey said. "This is definitely one of my last fights. Everyone better watch. The show isn't going to be around forever."

- A key lightweight contest will headline Saturday's UFC Fight Night 98 card, ending a lengthy break in UFC action. Former champion Rafael dos Anjos returns for the first time since dropping his title to Eddie Alvarez, taking on red-hot Tony Ferguson. The main card and majority of the prelims air live on FOX Sports 1.
