Ronda Rousey has voiced her frustration regarding the UFC's announcement of Conor McGregor's comeback fight against Max Holloway at UFC 329, scheduled for July 11. The announcement, made by UFC President Dana White, coincided with Francis Ngannou's return fight, which Rousey believes overshadowed McGregor's significant news. Rousey stated that such timing is a 'dumb move,' as it prevented McGregor from being the main headline of the day. She emphasized the importance of allowing each fighter their moment to dominate the headlines, a sentiment she expressed during her appearance on the Up & Adams Show. While White claimed the timing was coincidental, Rousey and many others are skeptical, suspecting it was a deliberate strategy to diminish McGregor's comeback. Rousey has also criticized Hunter Campbell, the UFC's chief business officer, for allegedly trying to sabotage her own return to the Octagon.
