Brett Cooper

For a lot of people, it's exciting because they have been waiting for these women to match up for, again, over a decade.

Somebody commented and said, two pioneers, one spotlight.

This isn't just a fight.

It is a moment for the history books.

May 16th can't come fast enough.

And another person said, it is about to go down.

I've been waiting for this for years.

Dreams truly do come true.

Like who cares if it's a good fight?

Like it is an iconic fight.

And just wait, like the ladies might surprise you.

It actually might be a great fight up to your standards, keyboard warriors.

I don't know.

I won't know the difference, but I will be having a fantastic time watching.

Anyway, rant over.

Moving on from that, even though this fight didn't happen back in 2015 with Dana White and UFC, apparently Gina and Ronda did approach Dana once their own negotiations were underway, once both of them were interested.

And in one article after the announcement, Ronda said that upon conversations amidst getting negotiations for the Karano fight finalized, Rousey said that she had asked White if he'd be interested in booking the fight and making her near-decade return to the promotion that she had helped establish the women's side for a reality.

I reached out to Dana and asked him if he would be interested in it, Rousey said.

It didn't exactly work out with the UFC, but it led us here today.

And now Dana White has not commented on any of this so we don't know why he didn't take the fight.
