In case you missed the big news, UFC president Dana White announced on FS1’s The Herd with Colin Cowherd that Ronda Rousey will be back inside the Octagon for the big year-end pay-per-view. As expected, Rousey will get an immediate title shot against reigning champion Amanda Nunes, who’s surely thrilled that she was able to get the big matchup that she was looking for. UFC 207: Nunes vs. Rousey will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Friday, December 30th. It’ll cap off a whirlwind 2016 for MMA, including several marquee pay-per-views for the UFC.
