ジーナ・カラーノとの今後のMMA戦を宣伝する記者会見で、元UFCチャンピオンのロンダ・ラウジーはダナ・ホワイトの組織への継続的な関与に驚きを表明し、親会社TKO Groupがファイターの福祉より貪欲を優先しているとして強く批判した。ラウジーはUFCのパラマウントとの新77億ドル契約を挙げ、それがアスリートの報酬改善につながるべきだと主張した。彼女はUFCを今やファイターが生活を稼ぐのに最悪の場所の一つだと表現した。
ロンダ・ラウジーは火曜日、カリフォルニア州イングルウッドでのメディアスクラムで語り、最近の総合格闘技への情熱に関する疑問についてUFC CEOのダナ・ホワイトに寛大な見方を示した。2016年にホリー・ホルムとアマンダ・ヌネスに敗れた後UFCを去ったラウジーは、ホワイトのPower SlapやZuffa Boxingなどの他の事業への関与を指摘した。「私はそれが両方だと思う、彼の手の届かないところだ」とラウジーは言い、状況をジョージ・ルーカスが自身の創造物を売却したことに例えた。彼女は付け加えた。「彼がまだやっていることに驚いている。」
