I don't want to hear about equal pay or any of that equality rubbish, there isn't a female mma, the s broads just do it as a vocation with the hope they don't get hurt

Well, she's built up some pretty good celebrity with that run and she's cashing in on it by doing movies. Who wouldn't do the same?
She'll be back soon enough though. I definitely see her coming back and it'll be hyped. There may be 1 more long run for her. She's still that Olympian.

Ronda Rousey, the former UFC women's bantamweight champion who fought three times in just under nine months in 2015, won't be quite as active in the Octagon this year.
UFC president Dana White told Yahoo Sports on Tuesday that Rousey has asked for more time off and that she won't fight, as planned, at UFC 200 in July. Rousey is set to star in the remake of "Roadhouse," and the start of filming has been pushed back, White said.
As a result, she asked him for more time off before returning to the Octagon for the first time since she lost her title and perfect record to Holly Holm on Nov. 14.
"The filming of the movie got pushed back," White said. "She could do both, but the question is, should she do both? She could do both, but why should she? The filming is in a time frame where she'd finish before 200, but it would be cutting it too close."
White said that was the reason that he agreed to allow Holm to make a title defense, scheduled for March 5 at UFC 197 against Miesha Tate, instead of making her wait until Rousey was ready. Holm and manager Lenny Fresquez had been pushing for an interim fight from the time it became apparent White was targeting the rematch for UFC 200.

She didn't want to wait that long in order to fight. When Rousey said she was in need of more time to fulfill her other obligations, White said he never hesitated.
The only risk is if Tate beats Holm, because then the Rousey-Holm rematch will be worth far less. But White said it was a risk he was willing to take.
No fighter, White said, has done more for the UFC than Rousey and so he has no problem with her taking all the time she needs. He said he's not sure when she will fight again.
"The way I look at this one is, Ronda has worked her ass off for us for the last three years," White said. "She's been fighting, promoting and building the sport. If anyone deserves the time off, it's her. The night [of UFC 193] Holly said she'd do the rematch and that Ronda deserved it and everything else. So we were holding it for her if she wanted to do it.
"What that woman has done is above and beyond what anyone has done. I mean, it's just unbelievable what she's done in the last three years. Anything we needed, she didn't say no to anything; said no to nothing. She even took over responsibilities somebody else was supposed to have. So when she tells me she wants more time, you know what? She's got it."

To be fair, Esparza has been out with a shoulder injury since that loss. She tried to rehab it but it didn't heal right and she had to get surgery.
Very telling Ronda asked out of a chance at revenge at a historic event that would give her much bigger payday than any movie could. Ronda would make millions in that fight, if you think she's making anywhere near that much in some shytty movies, you're out of your mind
Well yesterday she signed on with Tina Fey in a new movie..so that's 4 movie projects she has to complete now.
The longer she waits, the lesser she'll have the desire to return. Holm snatched that soul 
She's got a relationship with the Rock's production company so she's got a clear path to Hollywood
I dunno man, she has had knee troubles in the past so it's not like she can add slick wrestling tricks to her repertoire with that in the way. Best thing for Ronda would be if Tate can grapple fukk her way to a win over Holly IMO
