After over a year away from the sport, Rousey returned to face current champion Amanda Nunes on December 30, 2016, in the main event at UFC 207.[93] She lost the fight via TKO due to punches at just 48 seconds into the first round.[94] Rousey had no answer to Nunes’ straight and overhand shots. Sports columnist Martin Rogers wrote, "Even with all that time to recuperate and prepare, Rousey did not learn an effective jab, the first and most basic tenet of boxing, one of MMA’s core disciplines."[95]
