How Much Did Ronda Rousey Make Over The Past Year?, UFC Heavyweight Title Fight Set, Next UFC On FOX
- Forbes.com recognized UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey this week, as they ranked her number 8 among top earning women in sports. The article notes from June 2014-June 2015, the unbeaten fighter made an estimated $6.5 million. Of that amount, $3 million was from her fights, while the remaining $3.5 million was from endorsements.

- According to Karyn Bryant on UFC Tonight, the next UFC on Fox card is set for December 19 in Orlando, Florida at the Amway Center. The show was originally set for December 12, but the UFC moved their PPV date to that night, as the MGM Grand had a concert they weren't able to move.
- Ariel Helwani mentioned on UFC Tonight that the company has landed on an immediate rematch between UFC Heavyweight Champion Fabricio Werudm and Cain Velasquez.
"Dana White just confirmed with me that Fabricio's first title defense will be against Cain Velasquez. He's not sure when or where it will take place, yet," Helwani said.
Many had speculated that Stipe Miocic, Andrei Arlovski or Junior Dos Santos could be in like for a title shot.
