LIVE: Watch returning Ronda Rousey face off with Amanda Nunes for final time before fight night

Fireworks are to be expected

The last time that Ronda Rousey squared off with an upcoming opponent after a weigh-in, she put her fist in Holly Holm’s face.

And, well, we all know what happened the next night.

For the first time since November, 2015 Rousey will take to the scales for the ceremonial UFC weigh-ins and it should make for fascinating viewing given her self-imposed media ban that we’ve seen continue throughout fight week.

While defending UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes, as well as co-headliners Dominick Cruz and Cody Garbrandt, offered countless interviews in a bit to successfully promote Friday night’s UFC 207 fight card, Rousey did no such thing.

‘Rowdy’ made the 135lbs weight limit at the official weigh-ins on Thursday morning but did not cross paths with Brazil’s Nunes.

That will change in the below live stream of the weigh-ins from Las Vegas as they are expected to face off to close out the broadcast.

Typically UFC colour commentator Joe Rogan conducts a short interview with the fighters involved in the main event following the weigh-ins but who knows if Rousey will speak.

It’s definitely worth tuning in for it, that’s for damn sure.
