Ronda Rousey Makes First Big Appearance Since KO Loss
Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is taking a big step since her devastating loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193. Rousey will be hosting NBC’s Saturday Night Live on Jan. 23, the network announced Tuesday.
Rousey has not made a lot of public appearances since the loss back on November 23rd but is now.
Rousey will be just the third fighter to host the show, joining boxers Marvelous Marvin Hagler and George Foreman. Pop star Selena Gomez will be the musical guest on the show that Rousey is hosting.
Rousey (12-1) is currently on a one-fight losing streak and is 5-1 in her last six. She submitted Miesha Tate at UFC 168, knocked out Sara McMann at UFC 170 and Alexis Davis at UFC 175 in just 16 seconds, then finished Cat Zingano at UFC 184 in just 14 seconds by armbar. Her popularity reached all-new levels when she finished Bethe Correia in just thirty-four seconds at UFC 190, but she then lost the belt to Holly Holm at UFC 193 by second round knockout.
Rousey is set to film some movies in early 2016 before getting back inside the Octagon for a rematch with Holm, which is rumored to be at UFC 200.
