Former UFC bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey isn’t doing any media ahead of UFC 207 yet the promotional materials heavily favor her. Promo even calls the bantamweight belt hers in spite of it currently being in the hands of Brazilian Amanda Nunes.
Yet Ronda’s friends opt to talk for her and fill in the blank while she enjoys the media blackout.
“I can tell you that in the old days if Ronda suffered a loss, she came back with a vengeance,” former roommate and Olympic gold medalist Kayla Harrison told FOX Sports. “I’m expecting that. No one does underdog better than Ronda Rousey. She likes that feeling. She likes having to prove something to people. It’s going to be insane.”
In all honesty, Ronda Rousey is perhaps the biggest pay per view draw at this point.
Per @danawhite, 400 tickets left for #UFC207 Friday. Gate looks about $4.5 million. Capacity is roughly 19,000 #RouseyNunes

And that’s without the pay-per-view pie!
Still Joe Rogan is not a fan of the promotional narrative even though Ronda Rousey is also -160 favorite over Nunes at the sport books of the world.
