Ronda Rousey’s absence was a little more expected, though until ESPN broke it down was not really confirmed.
Check it:
“In April 2016, the sport made headlines when another of its stars, McGregor, refused to attend a news conference. White responded by pulling him from the UFC 200 card.
Rousey watched it unfold from afar. When she saw McGregor a month later, at a Bud Light commercial taping in Las Vegas, she pulled him aside and offered some advice. “Instead of trying to handle everything at once, while it’s coming at you, just trying to reach an agreement beforehand,” she told him.
Rousey did the same when she negotiated her terms for UFC 207. She would limit her publicity to a few high-profile interviews with people of her choosing, a day of filming at the gym in Glendale and a staredown with Nunes at UFC 205, a bout that McGregor would headline in New York in November.”
When the media gets it agendas for each pre-fight media event so far Ronda’s name has been absent.
