The 30-year-old MMA icon has got her first big acting role in NBC’s prison drama ‘Blindspot’ and the UFC now see no way of getting the fallen star back in the cage.
When White was asked if another Rousey return was on the cards, he told TMZ: “I don’t think so.
“She hasn’t retired. She hasn’t told me she’s retiring but I don’t think she’s coming back.

“She’s actually enjoying herself and she’s having fun. She made a lot of money and she’s enjoying it now.
“I know she was just on that TV show and if they do another season, she might be a regular character on the show. I could see her doing that.”
And Rousey confirmed she has her heart set on continuing her showbiz career.
Rousey told TMZ Sports: “Blindspot was awesome. I really loved it. I hope I get to go back.”
Ronda Rousey hints at WWE return with Becky Lynch feud after X-rated ‘bulls***’ rant over her Battlegrounds rating
RONDA ROUSEY has dropped a huge hint she could return to WWE after launching an X-rated rant at old rival Becky Lynch.
The former UFC superstar is still under contract with Vince McMahon’s company but has not competed since WrestleMania 35 in April 2019.
WWE fans are getting excited over the prospect of a future match between Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey
Rousey, 33, Lynch and Charlotte Flair made history that night by becoming the first females to ever compete in the main event of Mania.
It was Lynch who stole the show though, controversially pinning ‘Rowdy’ to become both the Raw and SmackDown Women’s champion.
Rousey has since stated her intention to start a family with her partner Travis Browne but was spotted training recently, sparking rumours of a potential return to the ring.
Meanwhile, Lynch is also currently out of action after announcing in April she and her fiance Seth Rollins were expecting their first child.
Despite their respective absences from TV, the war of words has always continued between the two women.
And Rousey has cranked it up again as she recently streamed WWE 2K Battlegrounds on her Facebook page.
The ‘Baddest Woman on the Planet’ took a shot at ‘The Man’ during the stream, and decided to not open her box while playing the game.
And she was even less thrilled when she discovered Lynch’s rating on the game was 92, the same as her own.
Rousey said: “They gave Becky the same as me? She knows that’s bull***t. You know that’s some bull***t.
“I’m gonna leave Becky Lynch’s box alone. I don’t want no ginger box, nobody does.
“Except for maybe Seth Rollins, but you know… that’s his thing.”
The furious row between the pair began in the build-up to WrestleMania as Lynch took a shot at her rival’s husband Browne.
He then fired back by calling Becky by her real name as he also slammed WWE.
Despite their mammoth clash in the triple threat match, the WWE Universe have still not got to see the duo go at it one-on-one.
