- Rousey criticised the UFC's recently announced White House fight card on 14 June at a press conference for her fight with Carano, stating that UFC president Dana White “knows the White House card sucks”.
- She revealed that the UFC had the opportunity to stage her fight with Carano but declined, leading to the Netflix deal.
- Rousey accused the UFC of “short-term greed”, claiming it is no longer the best place for athletes to earn a living due to low pay despite a significant broadcast deal.
