Long before you all accused us of being the MCGREGORbible we were of course the ROUSEYbible, when Ronda ruled the world of UFC and none of you cared about anyone else. Now she could be changing career.

For some time Rousey wasn't just the biggest female draw in UFC she was the biggest single star in the company without a single doubt.

The former UFC women's bantamweight champion went her first 12 MMA fights after changing sports from being a judo Olympian without tasting defeat.

Then she came up against Holly Holm and a brutal kick to the side of the head led to knockout loss and the cloak of invincibility wasn't just gone it was truly destroyed.

It would take the 30 year old over a year to make a comeback and when she did she faced Amanda Nunes to win the title back, but she lasted just 48 seconds before Nunes ended the fight.

There's been no official word on her future but according to the Fightful Podcast the Californian is set to start training at the Santino Brothers Pro Wrestling school in Southern California as she views a move into Sports Entertainment.

Rousey has long been linked with a move to sports entertainment with WWE and has previously appeared at Wrestlemania in a segment including The Rock, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.

McMahon has previously said that she would "love to have her [Rousey] at WWE" and the moment at Wrestlemania 31 did seem to hint at a fight for the following year.

The MMA fighter, turned actress' schedule didn't allow her to appear at 'Mania' 32 but it looks like she could show up sometime down the line.

Rousey was part of a group in MMA known as the Four Horsewomen that included Marina Shafir, Shayna Baszler and Jessamyn Duke and was named after the infamous Four Horsemen on wrestling that included Ric Flair.

The American turned up at the tapings for the WWE's Mae Young Classic women's tournament recently and she would be a huge draw in the company.

Rousey vs Charlotte Flair is a story that writes itself and we're desperate to see!
