Ronda Rousey Addresses Holly Holm Loss In Reebok Promo, UFC 200 Medical Suspensions, Urijah Faber
- Former UFC female bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey has been relatively quiet in regards to her potential return to the Octagon. But, a commercial for Reebok has been released featuring Rousey and discussing her loss to Holly Holm.
The video, entitled "Perfect Never," shows Rousey as a cover model complete with a very revealing dress before she wipes all of the makeup and glitz away to turn into an MMA fighter.
- Urijah Faber will return to the Octagon this September, meeting Jimmie Rivera at UFC 203. The event takes place from inside the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland and features Stipe Miocic defending his heavyweight title against Alistair Overeem.
Faber (33-9) has posted a 9-5 mark since coming over to the UFC from the WEC, including a recent title fight defeat at the hands of Dominick Cruz. Rivera (19-1) is a perfect 3-0 over his Octagon career, including a recent decision over Iuri Alcantara.
