Ronda Rousey will return to the Octagon a year after losing her title in a monumental upset.

Rousey will try to regain the U.F.C. bantamweight title against the current champion, Amanda Nunes, in Las Vegas on Dec. 30. U.F.C. President Dana White made the announcement Wednesday afternoon.

Rousey was the breakthrough star of mixed martial arts, winning fights sometimes in a matter of seconds, before she was shockingly knocked out by the left foot of Holly Holm in November.

Since then, Rousey, 29, has stepped away from the spotlight that put her on numerous magazine covers as the face of the U.F.C. She has also had several minor injuries.

The bantamweight division that Rousey once dominated has been in flux since she lost her title. Holm lost her own first title defense in March to Miesha Tate, who in turn lost to Nunes in July. In contrast, Rousey defended the belt six straight times from 2013 to 2015.

Rousey struggled fighting standing up against the ex-boxer Holm. She would be expected to take future fights to the mat, where she has been the master of the armbar submission. But Nunes is a Brazilian jujitsu black belt, and also has a background in judo, where Rousey got her start.

The U.F.C. is coming to New York City with a loaded card in November after the state became the last one to legalize mixed martial arts. Combined with the return of Rousey, it looks like a banner end to the year for the promotion, which was recently sold for $4 billion.

Her plan was to hop the fence that was around her school, she soon realized that it was not a good idea, she states, "I landed with all my weight on my good foot (her other one was injured from judo). As soon as i hit the ground i knew my left foot was broken." full of determination, Ronda continued to skip and limped to the food market near her school.

After countless surgeries and lots of blood loss, Ronda's father could finally walk again. He was in a lot of physical pain but didnt show it. Eventually they found out that the pain would only get worse because his spine was deteriorating, and in a year or less he would either be completely paralyzed or in permanent excruciating pain. Even though her dad loved his family dearly and they loved and supported him through everything, he decided that taking his own life was the only option. To me this was completely heart breaking, i would have been devastated if i was Ronda.

For Rousey's third birthday, all she wanted was a WWF Hulk Hogan Wrestling Buddy; but the only problem was that she couldn't say "Hulk Hogan", all she could say was "Blargin". Her parents took her to every toy store imaginable, but no luck, no Blargin. They we starting to give up hope, they headed to one last toy store, they went up to a worker at the Toys R Us and Ronda told him what she wanted, and somehow he just knew what is meant, a few minuets later he was back with her WWF Hulk Hogan wrestling buddy.
