But if I ever do get a loss \u2013 which I\u2019m going to continue to fight to make sure I never get one \u2013 but if I ever do, I hope I can come back a little bit differently than she did. But we\u2019ll see. I\u2019m hoping to not take that loss.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maycee Barber returned to the cage last weekend, on the main card of UFC Nashville, where she weathered some early trouble to stop JJ Aldrich in the second round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ronda Rousey has not fought since late 2017, when her comeback was spoiled by Amanda Nunes, who now holds both the bantamweight and featherweight belts. She&#8217;s signed with WWE, and is set to compete in the first all-female main event in the organization&#8217;s history at WrestleMania 35.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you think there are any similarities between Maycee Barber and Ronda Rousey?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article first appeared on&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><em>BJPENN.COM<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;on 3\/24\/2019.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ronda Rousey is still one of the biggest stars in MMA history.
