Dana White On Reason Rousey Is Co-Headlining UFC 184: “It Goes By Weight”

In the latest edition of “UFC Download,” UFC President Dana White spoke about Ronda Rousey being a co-headliner for the upcoming UFC 184 pay-per-view, explaining why it has nothing to do with a lack of star power.

“It has nothing to with her not being a star. It goes by weight,” White said. “If she was the highest weighted champion on the card, she would be the main event, but you have two guys that are middleweights and she weighs 135 pounds – so she’s the co-main.”

He also spoke about UFC’s reason for putting on a stacked card at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, the site of the Rousey vs. Cat Zingano UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship fight at UFC 184.

“The last L.A. / Staples Center fight we had with Aldo killed it. Ticket sales were awesome and then we had to shut that thing down,” White said. “I just wanted to bring a great card back to L.A. Now we have Weidman versus Belfort and Ronda versus Cat.”

Ronda Rousey vs. Cat Zingano takes place in the co-main event of UFC 184: Weidman vs. Belfort on February 28, 2015 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
