Since Rousey lost the belt, it has yet to be held for more than one fight.

Having lost her belt and flawless mixed martial arts (MMA) record on the same night against a vastly underrated women’s bantamweight title challenger, Rousey has a long road ahead to regain her confidence inside of the Octagon.
Dealing with the loss hasn’t been easy for Rousey, but she received some good advice from her mother.
The bantamweight division has turned into a game of hot potato in her absence, with Holm forfeiting the belt to Miesha Tate, then Tate stumbling at the hands of Amanda Nunes at UFC 200.
At UFC 193 in Australia on November 14, 2015, Holm did the unimaginable: She destroyed Ronda Rousey and took the title from her.
“I want to win my belt back”, Rousey announced after being asked what she had left to accomplish at a conference hosted by Robin Roberts.
The timetable for Rousey’s comeback remains in limbo as of the moment, but as promised by UFC president Dana White, she is guaranteed an immediate title shot upon her return. To know where Rousey’s mom is coming from, you would need to know that she was the first American to take home the Gold a the World Judo Championships in 1984.

Rousey had to get her relentless stamina from somewhere and after hearing her mom’s words of wisdom you will probably agree that this apple did not fall far from the tree. “Winning is a (expletive) but revenge is an (expletive)'”.
