Ronda Rousey is not interested in participating in the rumored UFC White House card next year.<\/p>\n

\"Ronda<\/p>\n

The UFC is expected to promote an event on the White House lawn in the lead-up to American\u2019s 250th anniversary next year. The plan was announced by President Donald Trump earlier this year, with UFC CEO Dana White gradually sharing more and more information about the event in the subsequent weeks.<\/p>\n

From the moment the UFC White House card was announced, fighters have been calling for a spot on the bill. That includes stars like Conor McGregor, Jon Jones, Michael Chandler, and Colby Covington.<\/p>\n

Do not expect to see Rousey competing on the White House lawn. Speaking during an appearance on The Lapsed Fan Podcast<\/a>, Rousey completely shut down the possibility. Surprisingly, however, she left the door for a UFC return slightly ajar.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not fighting at the White House,\u201d Rousey said\u00a0(via MMA Fighting<\/a>). \u201cI mean, after Mike Tyson being the biggest fight of the year [vs. Jake Paul], you never say never [on a return].<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I ain\u2019t fighting on the f*cking White House,\u201d she added.\u00a0\u201cI got better s**t to do\u2026 My kid needs pasta.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ronda Rousey is not interested in participating in the rumored UFC White House card next year.
