Ronda Rousey claims Dana White isn’t happy with the UFC White House fight card
Appearing at an event to promote her upcoming fight with Gina Carano on Netflix, the former WWE RAW Women’s Champion responded to questions about her earlier remarks that Dana White wasn’t upset with her for the return fight.
Rousey said Dana White is well aware that the UFC White House card fell short of expectations, especially after being promoted for more than a year. According to the former UFC Champion, White is likely just as unhappy with how things turned out, but he also taught her through example not to take situations like that personally.
“Oh, he knows the White House card sucks,” Rousey said. “He knows that they were pushing this for over a year, and it fell extremely short of expectations. I mean, he was so upset about it that he was talking about a fight falling out the day before. You know, I can guarantee you he’s not happy with it either. He’s the one who taught me, through example, to never take it personally.”
