Dana White Discusses The Backlash Against Ronda Rousey On Social Media

Dana White recently spoke with TMZ about the social media backlash over Ronda Rousey’s loss against Holly Holm at UFC 193. The UFC president says Rousey not touching gloves at the start of the fight has something to do with it, and also once again teased a rematch beteen the two.

“First of all, she didn’t touch gloves with Holly on Saturday, which I’m sure is a big part of it,” said White. “But the stuff on social media and the things I’ve seen, there’s just dirty, horrible people that just love to come out and be nasty and be negative and with social media, even idiots can have opinions. Ronda trained hard for this fight. Ronda went to Melbourne two weeks ahead of time to acclimate over there. Ronda had a bad night; she lost. She needs to come back, get in the gym, overcome this thing and fight Holly again.”

In addition to a slew of videos and memes, Rousey also got some trash-talk from the likes of Donald Trump and Lady Gaga.
