Dana White: Ronda Rousey to return to octagon in November

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship women's bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey told TMZ last month she planned to return to competition before the end of the year.

UFC president Dana White believes Rousey will barely beat that deadline.

According to ESPN.com, White said during an appearance on "The Neighborhood" radio show he believes Rousey will fight in November against the winner of the March 5 women's bantamweight title bout between Miesha Tate and Holly Holm.

Holm took the belt from Rousey with a second-round knockout in Melbourne, Australia, in November 2015. White's proposed target date would have Rousey taking almost exactly one year off from competition.
