Despite their past animosity and shared controversies, UFC Dana White has overcome all of them to heap praise on his former worker, Ronda Rousey. Almost a decade ago, Rousey finished up her UFC profession and commenced a brand new journey with WWE.
Soon enough, Rousey emerged as some of the popular names on the WWE roster. Nevertheless, she parted ways with WWE in 2023 and wrestled a couple of times within the indies before happening a hiatus. A number of weeks ago, Rousey made her MMA comeback against Gina Carano at Jake Paul’s MVP [Most Valuable Promotions]. Nevertheless, before the fight, at a press conference, Rousey became vocal about Dana White and UFC underpaying their fighters.
Despite her critical stance, Dana White recently heaped praise on her and called her the “biggest athlete.” Talking to the Tomi Lahren is Fearless podcast, White praised Rousey for her MMA contribution.
“She’s the best athlete that I’ve ever worked with in my 25 years of doing this, 1000’s of fighters. I knew the minute she got here to an event, and he or she got backstage on the weigh-ins, and said, ‘Can I get quarter-hour with you?’ And I said, ‘Yeah,’ and we went back into my green room at the sector. And in quarter-hour, she had me talking to myself in my head, going, ‘Holy (expletive), this woman is special, she’s different, and I feel I’m going to do that (create a UFC women’s division),’” White said.
Dana White reveals having similar feelings about Conor McGregor
In the identical podcast, White further opened up and revealed having similar feelings about Conor McGregor when he first met him. “I had that very same (feeling) — I went to dinner with Conor McGregor once I didn’t know Conor — and I left the dinner, and I called (former UFC owner) Lorenzo Fertitta, and I said, ‘Lorenzo, I don’t know if this guy can fight, but when he may even throw a punch, he’s going to be the largest star ever.’ So it’s just, you are feeling, once you’re with a individual that’s special and has that it factor, you are feeling it once you’re with them, and he or she is unquestionably that person.”
