After her plan to return under the UFC banner was scuppered, allegedly due to Hunter Campbell, âRowdyâ has not held back when discussing the promotion in which she once ruled as bantamweight champion.
Rousey has specifically targeted the White House event, claiming the card âsucksâ and criticising the decision to have only VIPs and global dignitaries attend.
âI know Iâm biased but I canât remember ever seeing a single card more stacked than this in MMA history,â Rousey wrote on Facebook. âThis is what happens when fighters come together and bet on themselves â change is coming, we are not expendable.
âThis is a fight card for EVERYONE, not some oligarch shmooze fest (*cough* #whitehousecard *cough!),â she added.

âI think itâs cool as fâ. Theyâre gonna have a fight at the White House, representing and showing love to America,â Diaz said.
âThrowing a fight at the White House. And that card is pretty (good). Theyâve got Pereira on there, thatâs pretty good,â he concluded.
