UFC President Dana White said where Rousey appears on a card has nothing to do with star power.
“It has nothing to with her not being a star. It goes by weight,” White told UFC.com in his weekly exclusive interview. “If she was the highest weighted champion on the card, she would be the main event, but you have two guys that are middleweights and she weighs 135 pounds – so she’s the co-main.”
“The last L.A. / Staples Center fight we had with Aldo killed it. Ticket sales were awesome and then we had to shut that thing down,” White said. “I just wanted to bring a great card back to L.A. Now we have Weidman versus Belfort and Ronda versus Cat.
