\u2018Rowdy\u2019 Ronda returned to the shape that saw her turn into considered one of the most important stars within the UFC when she locked in an armbar after just 17 seconds, submitting Carano immediately.<\/p>\n

Despite announcing her retirement immediately after her fight, the 39-year-old has now left the door open to a different potential MVP MMA headliner.<\/p>\n

Rousey not shutting down one other fight as she once more criticizes the UFC<\/h2>\n

Within the aftermath of their first MMA event, MVP talked about some potential future headline fights, and Rousey was a part of those plans.<\/p>\n

The previous UFC champion then went on to say that she would \u2018clean\u2019 Holly Holm\u2019s \u2018clock\u2019 in a possible rematch of their 2015 title fight.<\/p>\n

And now, the 39-year-old has once more left the door open to a possible future return, stating that even when she isn\u2019t fighting on MVP MMA\u2019s next event, she would love to be a part of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll see (if I\u2019m gonna be a part of MVP MMA 2),\u201d Rousey told The Fight Culture<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’d like to sort of like, reconvene and see what the long run looks like, I feel everyone seems to be just sort of decompressing and giving back to post that vast of an event fight-life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ahead of her MVP MMA clash, Rousey was extremely critical of the UFC on multiple occasions for passing up on the fight together with the best way they’ve been running their promotion over the previous couple of years.<\/p>\n

Not only that, but she consistently sent verbal attacks on the UFC\u2019s Chief Business Officer, Hunter Campbell, claiming that he attempted to sabotage her return.<\/p>\n

Again, the previous UFC star has criticized the promotion, this time for the proven fact that they host events every week, calling it \u2018background noise\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I hope (MVP MMA) do, with or without me, is that they proceed to make their fights an enormous event, each one an enormous event because that\u2019s what’s missing in MMA, it\u2019s just becoming on every weekend, background noise.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was extremely validating (for it to have been so successful), especially as Hunter Campbell told Gina that he didn\u2019t understand how he was gonna market a few 40-year-old\u2019s, so it was very nice to throw it into his face.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not that he doesn\u2019t know the way to market us, it\u2019s that he doesn\u2019t know the way to market f\u2014\u2014 anybody\u2026 In his own arrogance he\u2019s created the hugest rival the UFC\u2019s ever going to have because he\u2019s so silly.\u201d<\/p>\n
