“There are no two people in this sport with more international name recognition than me and Gina — except Conor [McGregor], but no one is going to sanction that,” Ronda said, according to multiple outlets. “This isn’t a charity card. This isn’t a throwback, nostalgia card. This is the biggest fight in the sport right now, and it needed to happen now. This is fate between us. We have been on a collision course ever since I sat on a couch watching her on TV, just in complete awe what this woman was doing.”
