Conor McGregor is not the biggest star in MMA. Who guarantees this is the powerful Dana White, president of the UFC. For the agent, Ronda Rousey is a level above the Irish, proof of this is the way Ronda was received in Brazil when she faced Bethe Correia at UFC 190, in August 2015. On that occasion, the North American knocked out the Brazilian 34 seconds into the first round and defended the bantamweight belt in the category.

"By far. It's not even close. By far she is the biggest star. Ronda Rousey It's a gigantic star. When you go to fight in Brazil, they don't care who you are, they want the Brazilian to break your face. When Ronda went there, they supported Ronda instead of the Brazilian. I've never seen that in my life, and I probably never will again. That shows how big she is”, said Dana in an interview with the North American website ”Seven Sport”.

PUBLICITY:

Ronda hasn't fought since November 2015, when she was knocked out by Holly holm in the main fight of UFC 193 and lost the bantamweight belt. Since then, the fighter's return has been constantly speculated, but there is still no official prediction of when she will step into the octagon again.
