“I spoke to Ronda on Saturday morning and she is fine, getting on with her life. From what we talked about, if I had to say now – and I don't like talking about these things, because it's up to her to decide – I would say that she won't fight again. In my opinion Ronda Rousey She is already retired and, from now on, she will enjoy life outside the octagon”, commented White, to the North American website “FloCombat”.

Despite not proposing to retire her personal friend, White says she realized that MMA is no longer a priority for Ronda who, while champion, began a career as a Hollywood actress, in addition to becoming a writer. The president of Ultimate also revealed that one of the former champion's plans is to move somewhere more secluded, as she herself had already said.

“It's not that I think Ronda was invincible. I just think she's so competitive that her career and record meant everything in her life. From the moment she lost, I think she started to wonder why she was doing that, and if that was all the life she would have. I believe Ronda wanted to try other things, and that's what she did. Ronda has a lot of money, much more than she can spend unless she starts doing crazy things like Floyd Mayweather. If you have the amount of money that Ronda has, you don't need to work in your life anymore. She has a great house in Venice, California, and I think her plans are to move to a more isolated place,” she declared.

Ronda Rousey She was one of the pioneers of women's MMA, having been instrumental in women's entry into the UFC. Before her, Dana White himself had commented that Ultimate would never allow fights between women in the octagon. With the arrival of the Olympic bronze medalist to the sport, the manager changed his mind and decided to include the bantamweight division. Shortly afterwards, the strawweight category was created and, next month, the UFC opens the women's featherweight division.
