According to a report by Ariel Helwani of MMA Fighting, Ronda Rousey’s return to action is growing more and more possible. The former UFC female bantamweight champion has not fought since November when she lost to Holly Holm for the title.

“Nothing is for certain or set in stone yet, but there continues to be increased optimism regarding Ronda Rousey’s return,” Helwani posted on Twitter Wednesday. “The goal has always been to return in (New York) but it’s important to remember Rousey had minor knee surgery two months ago. Still few (months) ago the talk was more if not when. That has shifted November to early 2017 is the talk now, but it’s still very early.”

The UFC has promised Rousey, a former bronze medalist in judo at the Summer Olympics, an immediate title shot vs. the current champion when she does return. That is Amanda Nunes, as the Brazilian submitted Miesha Tate at UFC 200.
