UFC president Dana White appeared on a recent edition of “The Herd” on FOX Sports 1 and boldly proclaimed that the return of Ronda Rousey will be big business.
Actually, record-breaking business.
White said that once the former UFC female bantamweight champion decides to fight again, she will score bigger pay-per-view numbers than that of the recent Conor McGregor-Nate Diaz series of fights.
“I think that Ronda Rousey’s return will be the biggest pay-per-view we’ve ever done,” White said.
That includes UFC 196, which was watched by a reported 1.5 million buys, for the first meeting between McGregor and Diaz.
White did not provide any more update as to when that return might be, though he previously ruled the former Olympic bronze medalist out of the November UFC 205 debut in New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
