P.S. @ufc\u2019s White House card sucks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The highly-anticipated release of the UFC&#8217;s White House card lineup Saturday was met with mixed reviews. The promotion announced six fights including two title bouts will take place on the card that coincides with Donald Trump&#8217;s 80th birthday.<\/p>\n<p>Rousey competes against Carano on May 16 at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif. The matchup is one Rousey said she initially pitched to the UFC but that they weren&#8217;t interested in. Rousey was also filmed trashing the UFC during a pre-fight promotional video, poking at recent antitrust lawsuits against the promotion.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a dream fight and a superfight and everything, but I feel like the story and everything behind it is not just this fight,&#8221; Rousey told MVP chief Nakisa Bidarian in a behind-the-scenes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Yf1T3-2UMUQ\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:&quot;MVP UNCUT&quot; video;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;&amp;quot&quot;}\" class=\"link \">&#8220;MVP UNCUT&#8221; video<\/a> released Monday. &#8220;A lot of it is MVP vs. UFC.

They can&#8217;t just make a class-action lawsuit every couple years the cost of doing business. I&#8217;m really trying to help Dana out.
