Ronda Rousey On Who She Wants To Be President, Bellator Beats UFC In The Ratings, UFC 193 Embedded
- UFC released the second episode of UFC 193 Embedded, which shows a host of stars from this weekend's big show. Champions Ronda Rousey and Joanna Jedrzejczyk are shown going through fight week activities before defending their titles. You can see the full episode above.
Wrestling Inc will have full coverage of UFC 193: Rousey vs. Holm this Saturday night.
- Speaking of Rousey, the UFC Women's Bantamweight champion told Maxim that she will be voting for Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders if he's next year's Democratic nominee.
"I'm voting for Bernie Sanders, because he doesn't take any corporate money," Rousey said. "I don't think politicians should be allowed to take money for their campaigns from outside interests." Rousey also revealed that she voted for Roseanne in 2012.
- Bellator MMA scored a minor victory last weekend, as Bellator 145 beat out UFC Fight Night 77 in viewership. Bellator averaged 814,000 viewers for their Friday show, which featured Bobby Lashley and two championship fights, while UFC Fight Night 77 averaged 757,000, headlined by Vitor Belfort vs. Dan Henderson. Bellator doesn't have a presence on pay-per-view, so it's a very minor victory.
