Former WWE Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey is back in the gym after welcoming her second child, Liko’ula Pā’ūomahinakaipiha Browne, with her husband and ex-UFC fighter Travis Browne in January 2025. Rousey has shared her impressive physical transformation on social media, highlighting her return to MMA training.
In her update, Rousey expressed gratitude toward her nutritionist and training team for supporting her postpartum recovery. She emphasized the joy she feels returning to the cage, noting that her recovery experience this time has been more positive compared to her first pregnancy. Rousey shared, “My joints feel tighter, and I just feel healthier and more sturdy compared to just doing regular gym lifting/cardio workouts.”
In 2024, Rousey had dismissed the idea of returning to WWE, labeling the organization a “sh*tshow” and expressing her frustrations with management. However, there is speculation about her potential return, especially with her renewed dedication to MMA training, which may rekindle interest in a comeback to the UFC.
Rousey’s journey illustrates the balancing act many athletes face between motherhood and their professional careers. Her resilience and commitment to reclaiming her physical identity serve as an inspiration for many, demonstrating that with the right support and mindset, postpartum recovery can lead to powerful transformations.
The future remains uncertain, but Rousey’s path forward could still open doors in both MMA and wrestling, generating excitement among fans.
