While she has been out of the spotlight since her defeat at the hands of Holly Holm, Ronda Rousey will be returning to the public eye in a big way: by hosting NBC’s Saturday Night Live later this month.
Rousey will be the first MMA fighter to host the show. She will also be starring an an upcoming remake of the movie “Road House;” she previously appeared “Expendables 3”, “Furious 7” and “Entourage” in addition to appearing at WWE’s Wrestlemania 31 and guest hosting ESPN’s Sportscenter.
Selena Gomez will be the night’s musical guest.
While she now slated to reappear in the public eye, there is still no word on when Rousey’s next fight will take place. In November, the UFC handed her a medical suspension that could last as long as six months, pending the results of her CAT scans. Her fans will surely be hoping that this appearance signals she is on the road to a full recovery and a return to the octagon.
