Ronda Rousey names opponent that could entice her to return to MMA

Ronda Rousey would only return to the UFC Octagon for a fight with fellow legend Gina Carano.

The former bantamweight champion was one of MMA's biggest stars during the prime of her career, landing 12 consecutive wins before being dethroned by Holly Holm in 2015. And after losing her comeback fight the following year to Amanda Nunes, Rousey swapped the UFC octagon for the WWE ring with a successful run in the professional wrestling world.

Now, Rousey is a mother and focused on her second stint with WWE, appearing to have little interest in making a fighting comeback at the age of 35. But she has said that if Carano, now a major film star, were to ask her for a comeback bout, she would respectfully accept after being inspired to compete by the former fighter.
