Tonight in Las Vegas, former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey<\/a> will be stepping into the\u00a0Octagon after over a year away from the sport<\/a>. When she returns, she will be facing UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes, who is fresh off a 1st round submission win over Miesha Tate to claim the women’s bantamweight championship<\/a> back in July.<\/p>\n

\"ufc<\/p>\n

Ahead of Rousey’s return, her longtime nemesis, Miesha Tate, spoke on Fox Sports 1<\/a> to discuss Rousey’s return, saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes you wonder where her head is at,\u201d Tate said in an interview with FS1\u2019s \u201cUndisputed.\u201d \u201cIs she laser-focused, or is she struggling?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe she doesn\u2019t want to do this,\u201d Tate said. \u201cBecause she said I\u2019ll do this under one condition \u2013 my way. I feel like maybe she doesn\u2019t want to be here doing this right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf she really wanted to continue fighting, she would\u2019ve been back there sooner,\u201d Tate said. \u201cHer taking a year and some change off, I think she wants to do other things. I don\u2019t think she really wants to be in there fighting anymore, but I think she\u2019s doing it sort of as a favor to the UFC.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With that being said, Rousey certainly has appeared to be all-business throughout fight week as she has been straight faced in her select few public appearances. Regardless of Rousey’s focus, one thing is certain, Amanda Nunes has serious one-punch knockout power. Knockout power that Tate herself felt at UFC 200 when Nunes rocked her in the opening moments of the first round<\/a>. Tate was never able to fully get back in the fight, and wound up being submitted in the first round.<\/p>\n

\"women's<\/p>\n

\u201cI have never been hit that hard in my life, so (Nunes) packs one heck of a punch, and I\u2019ll tell you one thing: It\u2019s only going to take one of those to land clean, and it\u2019s going to ring Ronda\u2019s bell,\u201d <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
