The hard yards

Ronda’s getting her sweat on.

The former UFC bantamweight champion faces an uncertain 2016. In just under a month’s time she’s going to see Miesha Tate fight Holly Holm for the belt that used to hang permanently around Rousey’s waist.

The ex-Olympian of course endured a shattering loss to Holm before Christmas, and afterwards she spoke of how unsure she was of when, or even if, she would be ready for a comeback in the first six months of this year.

Tate has earned the right to fight Holm due to her run of four straight wins, but if pictures today from TMZ Sports indicate anything, it is that ‘Rowdy’ is looking to step up her comeback to try and win back her belt very soon.

She’s been pictured back in the gym for the first time since her loss to Holm, and is back working with her trainer Edmond Tarverdyan at the Glendale Fighting Club.

If Holm beats Tate on 5th March at UFC 196, then perhaps we could see Rousey back in the octagon sooner than expected.

Her biceps certainly haven’t gone anywhere.
