Dana White explains why it was ‘impossible’ for Ronda Rousey to grow and evolve as a fighter in the UFC

It’s tough to fathom that Ronda Rousey’s entire UFC career actually lasted less than four years.

She helped usher women’s fighting into the UFC after Dana White famously said it would never happen, and the 2008 Olympic bronze medalist in judo then became one of the biggest stars in the history of the sport. At her peak, Rousey was neck and neck with Conor McGregor as the two most recognizable fighters the UFC had ever promoted.
