00:00Staying in Houston, White also addressed the newly announced showdown between former UFC icon Ronda Rousey and women's MMA pioneer
00:08Gina Carano, a superfight he once tried to make himself.
00:14Since the bout was announced, Rousey claims to have pitched the idea directly to White, but negotiations stalled with the
00:20UFC's new owners TKO and UFC exec Hunter Campbell.
00:26Enter Jake Paul and ex-UFC employee Mekissa Bedarian, whose most valuable promotions sealed the deal between another two of
00:34the most influential women in combat history.
00:38Rousey and I have been talking about this since last year, admitted White. It just didn't work out. But I'm
00:44happy. Me and Gina are in a really good place. We weren't at one point. I'm happy for both of
00:49them.
00:51Rousey vs. Carano lands this May 16 at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. No undercard has been announced just
00:58yet, but they don't really need one.
01:00So expect some retired combat legends, crossover sports stars and C-list celebrities.
