Picking & Grinning: UFC 207 ‘Nunes vs. Rousey’


She was once the brightest star in the mixed martial arts sky. Now, Ronda Rousey looks to reclaim her place.

Rousey -- in her first appearance since being knocked out by Holly Holm more than a year ago -- will challenge Amanda Nunes for the Ultimate Fighting Championship women’s bantamweight crown in the UFC 207 main event on Friday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Dominick Cruz defends his bantamweight title against the unbeaten Cody Garbrandt in the five-round co-headliner. The rest of the five-fight main card features a bantamweight tilt pairing T.J. Dillashaw with John Lineker, a welterweight affair pitting Dong Hyun Kim against Tarec Saffiedine and a flyweight clash matching Louis Smolka with Ray Borg.
