“I think the legacy Ronda leaves behind is that she changed women’s MMA”.

“You did have a lot of fighters coming out and saying, ‘I want a Ronda Rousey technique video, because I want to learn those skills.’ She has great skills, but so does everybody else on the roster”, he expressed. You’re insane. In my opinion, I don’t think (she will fight again). If she comes back, of course she can (win the championship back).
“It’s amusing because all the people that were talking smack about the fight, everybody thinks they’re an expert and everybody thinks they know about fighting”, White said, as quoted by MMA Fighting, at the post-fight press conference.
Aldo makes a fair point.
However the Where R U Now singer has strayed into what we call “bastard Bieber” territory with his latest remarks RE: Ronda Rousey and her 17-year-old sister.
Fans getting their hopes up of Rousey Holm II at UFC 197 (March) or 198 (April) may be disappointed.
While Rousey lay on the ground, being attended to by her trainers, the UFC was in absolute shock.
Holm, a former boxing champion, used her ringcraft to cut down angles and side step the aggressive Rousey, a former judoka champion, before delivering the knockout blow with a head kick in the second round.
“If you look at the actual KO – now, she did get nailed, Rousey, with several shots before the finish of the fight”, he said.
White has not put any kind of timetable together for a rematch, though he has said that doing it at UFC 200 in July would be preferable.
With all that, whether Rousey leaves the sport or not, he believes that she had made a huge mark in the world of Mixed Martial Arts.
The USA cult figure assured her supporters she has no serious health concerns and would be back in the octagon before long.

“I had so much love and support I just thought, ‘How can I not do this?’ This right here is priceless”. “If you’re going to be mean to my little Julia, I’m sorry then it’s just we’re not gonna be cool until you fix it”. I wasn’t going to lose.
