Conor McGregor reached the peak of his career last December 12th, when he knocked out José Aldo in just 13 seconds and won the UFC featherweight belt. While the Irishman shines like never before, the former bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is going through his worst moment in the organization, after the knockout to Holly holm, the loss of the title and the end of his professional invincibility. In the opinion of president Dana White, however, not even the disparity between the phases means that Ronda is surpassed by McGregor in terms of fame.

“Everything this woman does, she does incredibly. She is an incredible athlete, personality, friend, partner… the list goes on. Ronda Rousey it's incredible. I think the Ronda Rousey He's the UFC's biggest star. But let me tell you one thing: Conor McGregor he’s pinching her heels,” said Dana, in an interview with the North American website “Yahoo Sports”.

At 28, Ronda Rousey has a record of 12 wins and one loss. Busy in Hollywood, Ronda still doesn't know when she will return to the octagon. Conor McGregor, 27 years old, has a record of 19 wins and two losses. After hitting José Aldo, the Irishman will not even defend the featherweight title and will already try to win the lightweight belt, against the Brazilian Rafael dos Anjos, UFC 197, next March.
