Rousey appeared on Kay Adams\u2019 Up & Adams Show<\/a> and took aim at UFC\u2019s Chief Business Officer Hunter Campbell. She said it was likely his decision to announce McGregor\u2019s return during the MVP MMA show. Rousey said she\u2019d be pissed if she were McGregor because the news of his return was drowned out by the end of the night.<\/p>\nRousey added that Campbell is objectively bad at his job.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne thing that I really wanted to do with promoting this fight was I wanted everyone to have their own day to dominate the headlines. So you announce me first and then, you announce Francis (Ngannou), then you announce Nate (Diaz), and so you let everybody take the day on the headlines, and instead of letting Conor (McGregor) be the main headline of the day, they basically blew that wad in the middle of our card to try and pull away from it, like, in the middle of Francis\u2019 walkout, and man, I would be so pissed if I was Conor, and just would be, like, almost buried, the news of his comeback being buried because it was announced during our card. It just adds that storyline of the UFC and MVP of being juxtaposed to one another, and I\u2019m like, that\u2019s such a dumb move. I\u2019m sure it came straight from Hunter (Campbell). Because he\u2019s objectively terrible at his job. But that kind of stuff\u2026 it\u2019s exciting and it\u2019s fun and I get to hear all the tea about what\u2019s going on, like, \u2018Okay, this person is doing this and this person is wanting that\u2026\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
In Rousey\u2019s MMA return, she bested Gina Carano in 17 seconds via submission. McGregor last fought at UFC 264 in 2021, where he lost to Dustin Poirier because he broke his left tibia and fibula.<\/p>\n
