Ronda Rousey boasts the position of being one of the most dominant UFC champions today. In four fights in the organization, “Rowdy” won three in the first round, and in his last two fights, he defeated Sara McMann e Alexis Davis in 1min22s in the combined combat time. However, according to the champion, the dominance could become even greater in the future.

After beating Davis in July at UFC 175, Rousey underwent surgery to repair an old knee injury. And the result was quite satisfactory for the fighter, who highlighted that she was in better physical condition than in recent times. “It's going to be pretty scary when I get back to 100% because I've been functioning on just one leg for the last few years. Now I’ve reached a point where my stretching is in the best condition since I was 16 years old”, highlighted Rousey, in an interview with the “UFC Tonight” program, on the North American broadcaster “FOX Sports”.

“This is actually my fourth knee surgery. I've been in worse situations before. I mean, I would still fight today. If they told me they needed a fight, I would fight today”, continued the American, undefeated in MMA with ten wins in ten fights.

Despite saying she would fight immediately, Rousey set her goal to fight at UFC 182, on January 3, which will feature a duel between Jon Jones e Daniel Cormier, valid for the light heavyweight title. “I would love to fight on the end of year card again. With everything that happened to Jon Jones, I would love to be on the card where he faces Cormier. When they can fight, I would love to share a card with them. I think it would be a very special night”, he concluded.
