Ronda Rousey has suggested her career in UFC is over after revealing she is just as likely to make a shock return to judo at the Olympic Games in Tokyo 2020.
The former women's bantamweight champion has not stepped inside the Octagon for 15 months after a humiliating 48-second defeat to Amanda Nunes.
That fight was touted as a comeback after she had conceded her title belt to Holly Holm in 2015, but a second successive defeat has long suspected to have dealt a fatal blow to her UFC career.

While there has been no official announcement from either UFC owner Dana White or Rousey herself, she suggested that there is essentially no chance of returning to MMA.
'I don't know [if I'll return to UFC],' said Rousey while speaking to Ellen DeGeneres. 'I think it's just as likely as me going back to another Olympics for judo.
'No one demanded a written resignation from me for judo and I don't really think the same thing is necessary for fighting. I'm just doing what I enjoy and WWE is what I enjoy right now.'
Before becoming the biggest female star in MMA, Rousey won a bronze medal in the Judo 70kg category at the Beijing Olympics.
Rousey, who remains a box office hit, has since joined forces with WWE and is set to appear at its headline attraction WestleMania 34 on April 8.
