UFC superstar Ronda Rousey won’t be attending Conor McGregor’s fight with Floyd Mayweather on Saturday night.
It’s because she’s getting married to UFC heavyweight fighter Travis Browne, it was reported Friday. The two got engaged in April.
UFC President Dana White told The Rich Eisen Show. that he won’t attend her wedding due to the Mayweather-McGregor fight---which is estimated to be the most lucrative bout in history.
“Ronda Rousey gets married tomorrow,” White said. “Tomorrow is her wedding. She’s in a good place, she’s happy and hasn’t announced her retirement or anything like that, but she’s focusing on this wedding.”
Rousey hasn’t competed in the sport since her loss to Amanda Nunes last December during UFC 207.
White said that he'd love to attend her wedding, but nothing will take his attention away from the impending mega-fight.
“Of all the days (for it to happen),” White said. “She said, ‘I’m getting married. Will you come to the wedding?’ I said, ‘Absolutely.’ The wedding’s tomorrow.”
Rousey previously said on “Kelly and Ryan” that the wedding will happen in Hawaii, where Browne is from.
White also told the show that Rousey, a former champion, that she hasn’t retired.
On Friday, TMZ obtained audio of what McGregor, 29, told Mayweather, 41, during their most recent face-off.
“Boom. Head off the canvas … ‘And the new, king of boxing,’” McGregor told Mayweather.
