All of a sudden, a banker for the UFC hall-of-fame was staring retirement dead in the eyes.
Rousey's next move dominated the headlines and it would indeed appear that she's taped the 4oz. gloves for the final time as UFC president Dana White has revealed that, judging by a recent conversation, Rousey was done.

Yahoo! reporter Kevin Iole sought clarification on that statement and received it in a subsequent text message from the UFC boss.
