We interrupt your previously scheduled death for this important announcement:
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, who once competed as a featherweight, may be one healthy bowel movement away from making the 135-pound limit.
Why is that news?
Because “Rowdy” is still over three weeks away from her Octagon return, a five-round pay-per-view (PPV) title fight against current women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes, which takes place at UFC 207 on Dec. 30, 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Pretty impressive for a “well-fed” fighter.
I’m told a “well-fed” Ronda Rousey is currently walking around @ 140 lbs., 24 days before her 135 lbs title fight. That’s pretty remarkable.

She’s usually approximately low 150’s at this point in camp, I’m told. https://t.co/stripemb57

No word if this guy is involved.
Rousey (12-1) hasn’t been seen since her stunning knockout loss at the hands (and feet) of Holly Holm in November 2015. Following her damnation from “The Preacher’s Daughter,” the part-time movie star took some well-deserved time off from the mixed martial arts (MMA) game to pursue outside endeavors.
Now she’s back ... but is she better than ever? That may depend on how much the media is willing to create between now and then.
