Ronda, considered one of the main sports stars today, faced Holly holm at Etihad Stadium, in Melbourne, an event that recorded the largest audience in UFC history (56 thousand people). According to a local study, the North American's presence at the event contributed to generating US$102 million for the local economy, in addition to 894 temporary jobs.

Precisely for this reason, both cities expressed their interest to the UFC for Ronda's next fight to be held there. The octagon is expected to arrive in the country again in November, although the city has not been defined.

“If Ronda wants to come and fight in Melbourne, she will come and fight in Melbourne. [Her last fight] was an immense success as she has a huge fan base there,” Peter Kloczko, UFC spokesman in Australia, told the “Herald Sun” newspaper.

At UFC 193, Ronda was dominated by Holly holm and lost the belt with a knockout in the second round. His return has not yet been made official – the UFC plans his next fight for November, possibly in New York (USA).
