Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is the most successful and recognizable woman in the world of mixed martial arts (MMA); despite all that, she is looking to hang the gloves in her 30s. 

Rousey and her head coach Edmond Tarverdyan were the guests of UFC commentator Joe Rogan on his podcast, during which the unbeaten 28-year-old UFC fighter shared her future retirement plans. 

"I'm not going to be doing this in my 30s; I don't want to be fighting in my 30s. By 30s, I mean like 31, 32. If you're actually 30 years old that's 30, not 30s. Once you add the one, that's 30s, plural. I'm 28," Rousey said on the podcast. 

Rousey added, "I don't know. I look at it exactly like how we were talking about fighting, that's how I do everything else."

In her most recent fight, Rousey successfully defended her title for the sixth time, knocking out Brazilian top contender Bethe Correia in just 34 seconds. 

The win improved her record to an unblemished 12–0 with all wins coming via finishes consist of nine submissions and three knockouts/total knockouts.  

Rousey will be defending her title this November against former boxing champion Holly Holm. 

But still a fight fans want to see is Rousey going up against Invicta FC featherweight champion Cris "Cyborg" Justino.

Rousey and Justino are having a war of words for some time now but a fight is yet to be booked because of some complications, which include making weight. 

During her appearance on Rogan's podcast, Rousey also spoke on how a fight against Justino will impact her career. 

Despite her plans of retiring, Rousey believes her career is not done yet and also said, "With the UFC, when am I really done? I'm not. It feels unfinished still. (The 'Cyborg' fight) definitely would (help)."

Rousey and Justino are arguably the best in the world but a fight seems to be far-fetched for now since both are focused on their respective endeavors.
