Ronda Rousey got a big load off her back after the UFC announced that the deposed Women’s bantamweight champion has been given a reprieve and not expected to be part of UFC 200 this coming July.
UFC president Dana White recently announced that Rousey has requested some time off, a result of the changes in filming schedule which has temporarily shelved of that much awaited rematch involving Rousey and reigning champion Holly Holm.

"She's been fighting, promoting and building the sport. If anyone deserves the time off, it's her. The night [of UFC 193] Holly said she'd do the rematch and that Ronda deserved it and everything else. So we were holding it for her if she wanted to do it,” says White via Yahoo Sports recently.
There is no timetable for her return but the UFC doesn’t intends to pressure her into returning to the Octagon as of now.

Rousey is expected to be busy filming soon but before all that, she was spotted in Venice, Los Angeles with a friend seemingly relaxing as she prepares for tumultuous couple of months via the Daily Mail.
From the looks of it, Rousey is enjoying every bit of spare time she can right now. With jarring loss at UFC 193, the former champion is believed to be still feeling the mental and physical anguish that second round knockout she sustained at the hands of Holm.
With that said, the focus in the UFC right now will be on Holm as she makes her first title-defense against Miesha Tate. The pressure has now shifted on the Australian fighter with the UFC hoping she hangs on to the title long enough until Rousey is ready to re-enter the Octagon.
