Dana White recently spoke with Hot 97 in New York to promote UFC 205. During the interview, White spoke about Ronda Rousey’s popularity, here are the highlights…
Is Rousey The Biggest Star in UFC History?: “By far. Not even close, by far the biggest star ever.”
On Rousey’s Popularity: “Ronda Rousey is such a big star that when you go down to Brazil – I don’t know if you guys have watched any of the fights we do from Brazil — they don’t care who you are. They want the Brazilian to whoop your ass. When Ronda went down there, they cheered for Ronda over the Brazilian. Never seen that before in my life and will probably never see it again. That’s how big Ronda Rousey is.”
On Rousey’s Hard Work: “The truth with Ronda is this: Ronda Rousey worked her ass off for four years. She worked hard. All the time she fought, all the PR that she did for us, and more importantly the training. The training takes a lot out of you. And after the loss she said, ‘I need a break. I need time off.’ And the minute anybody says that in this business…you don’t do that in this sport. Your head has to be in this game 24-7 and you’ve got to be a killer. The minute you think you need a break, you definitely need a break.
