Dana White: I love Ronda Rousey man – UFC News
President of UFC Dana White expressed his gratitude towards Ronda Rousey, an emerging UFC star. Rousey has been on the forefront as one of the most promising UFC stars recently. She opened the NASDAQ on Tuesday morning as part of the lead up to UFC on Fox
3. During his press conference yesterday, White was asked about Rousey, and surprisingly the president sounded quite impressed by her.
White remarked, “She's a rock star man. She's been fantastic. She's been killing it for us. I just hope that we can some really good fights for her. I love Ronda Rousey man. I do. Our people decide when and where she fights but it's about finding an opponent.
We have to get her an opponent. You guys know I'm not doing anything with Strikeforce anymore. You guys know more than I know. I think when you have two really good female athletes that are at the same level, yeah absolutely. Would you disagree that Miesha
Tate's probably the best girl in that division that's out there that she's fought?”
White further added that Miesha might end up like Lucia Rijker MMA, who according to White was the best female boxer in the world. He said that most people have heard of Kristi Martin and Layla Ali, and that all these people would never fight a boxer like
Lucia Rijker. White praised Rijker saying that she was the type who used to spar with guys and she was extremely good yet nobody knows her name because she never could make it to that level despite being the best in the world.
It should be noted here that Ronda Rousey has been praised worldwide for her capabilities as an MMA fighter. She has been working as a spokeperson for Zuffa for quite some time now. Most analyst even believe that she has unmatched talent in the division
and if she does not get a tough opponent then her presence might be lost.
For now, that is all White had to say regarding Rousey. By his comments, it is pretty obvious that he is extremely happy with her performance.
