Dana White's 180: 'nobody wants to see girls fighting in a cage'

Dana White once told TMZ women would never fight in the UFC because nobody wanted to see it. He reversed completely when Ronda Rousey emerged as a star he could build an entire division around.

“Dana White was kind of famously— was once stopped by TMZ and they were like, Dana, when will we see women fighting in the UFC? And he was like, never, dude. We don't want to see— nobody wants to see girls fighting in a cage. And And then he like, you know, did a complete 180, like to his credit, changed his mind when he— when Ronda Rousey came around, was like, okay, she's a star, I can build this whole side of the sport around this woman.”
