Rousey made her return to the Octagon at UFC 207, one year after her last match at UFC 193, against Holly Holm for the Women's Bantamweight Title. Before that fight, Rousey remained undefeated.

However, her comeback proved unsuccessful after Amanda Nunes beat her in the first round in 48 seconds via TKO. This angered a lot of fans, thus resulting in this act of malice.

The heart of the matter

The individuals who vandalised Rousey’s home are still unknown as of this writing. When the news was first reported by Daily Mail it was accompanied by the picture above of the side panel of the house tainted by an illegible message.

After her loss to Holm at UFC 193, Rousey kept a significantly low-profile; avoiding the press and any media appearances as much as she could. The former Champion did the same after her bout with Nunes at UFC 207 was announced.

Rousey made a one-time arrangement with UFC promoter Dana White which ensured that she would not participate in any media appearances. Rousey's only goal was to focus on her comeback fight.

Many people focused on these steps that Rousey took and spoke highly in her favour instead of Amanda Nunes, who became the underdog in the fight. However, everything fell apart for Rousey in just 48 seconds. Amanda Nunes proved too fast and too powerful for Rousey to handle.

Her mother, AnnMaria De Mars and a lot of others are expecting Rousey to retire from MMA. Rumour has it that Rousey just might enter the world of professional wrestling.

Sportskeeda’s take

It is really disappointing to see Rousey treated like this. Fans shouldn’t forget that Rousey was instrumental in popularising the MMA Women’s Division.
