Rumors about his retirement Ronda Rousey grow every day. After Dana White reveal that he doesn't believe in the blonde's return to the Octagon, now it's the turn of Justin Flores, the fighter's coach, to bet on Rousey's future away from competition.
For the coach, Ronda would not be willing to go through all the sacrifice involved in preparing for a fight in the UFC.

“I don’t think it’s what she wants at this point in her life, but I’m not ruling anything out. Personally, I would support her, but I just don't think it's what she wants at this point in her life. I don't see this being something she wants to go into and focus on with full force to be the best. Because if she's going to do anything, from what I know of her, she's going to do it to be the best,” she declared, in an interview with 'Submission Radio'.
According to Flores, the former bantamweight champion should dedicate herself to a career in cinema and personal life with now-fiancé Travis Browne and raising children.
“She has competed her whole life. Her whole life has been about being the best and I personally think that the best thing for her to feel good about herself is not to be like a fighter. I love her so much. I know the pain she went through physically, doing this all the time, multiple surgeries, concussions, broken bones, cutting weight. All these things are piling up. She's 30 now and has been doing this since she was 8 without stopping. With the mileage you put on her body and the mileage she put on her body, I don't think she wants to do that. I think she's going to live a long, happy life and raise the kids with Travis, which I know is her future and I don't think (returning to wrestling) is something that I feel would be in her best interests," she concluded.
