Dana White doesn’t hide the fact that he’s a close friend of Ronda Rousey, is that a conflict of interest as UFC president? Probably.
It comes as no surprise that White has kept close tabs on Rousey since he KO loss to Holly Holm and predicts that we’ll see a much improved Ronda when she steps into the octagon to face Holly Holm.
“This is a person that I’m very close to and know very well, and yeah, it was tough to see her go through that, but she’s 100-percent bounced back, recovered and is getting ready to come back in either October or November.
I think we’re going to see a more calculated Ronda. Ronda got to the point where she would fight anybody at their own style,” White said. “You don’t want to run into somebody else’s attributes. You want to shake things up for them and make them come into your wheelhouse, where you’re the best, and Ronda just went out there that night with the wrong plan.
Then even when stuff started to go bad, she didn’t change things up, and she didn’t mix it up. You won’t see that again, I guarantee you. She’s going to be much smarter in her next fight and how many fights she fights after that.”
White’s spot on with his analysis of what Ronda has to change in November but the question is whether she has the team around her to develop the skills necessary to defeat Holm in the rematch.
