If she disappeared for over a year last time, maybe this time she never comes back. She has given plenty to the sport already. She broke the gender line and pulled three divisions of women into the UFC behind her. She built a small army of fans. For a time, she was dominant.

"Forget about Ronda Rousey," Nunes said. "She's going to go do movies. ... That's it for her. For sure she's going to retire."
