Ronda Rousey (12-1) famously dominated the UFC women’s bantamweight division since its inception, winning six straight bouts by finish before she lost to Holly Holm at UFC 193 by second round knockout. Rousey has not fought since then and everyone wants to know when she’ll fight again.

UFC President Dana White spoke with TMZ Sports and commented on when he expects for Rousey to return to the octagon.

“I just had dinner with her the other night. She’s in a great place mentally, physically, emotionally — every way you can be good, she’s good,” White said. “She’s talking about coming back at the end of this year.”

White would then explain that he expects her to return in November or December.

“She’ll either come back in November or December. She’s ready again,” White said. “She’s ready to fight. Yep, she’s ready.”

White has already confirmed that Rousey will fight Miesha Tate for the women’s bantamweight title. That would be a trilogy fight for the two fighters. Rousey has beaten Tate twice. Rousey beat Tate in March of 2012 by first-round armbar then in December of 2013 at UFC 168; Rousey submitted Tate with an armbar in the third round.
