Dana White says Ronda Rousey won’t fight at UFC 200 UFC President Dana White told Yahoo! Sports that Rousey’s work on the “Road House” remake movie now has a delay in filming. The change in timing has forced White to announce that Rousey won’t scheduled to compete on UFC 200. “She could do both, but the question is, should she do both?” White told Yahoo! Sports. “She could do both, but why should she? The filming is in a time frame where she’d finish before 200, but it would be cutting it too close. The way I look at this one is, Ronda has worked her ass off for us for the last three years,” he said. “She’s been fighting, promoting and building the sport. If anyone deserves the time off, it’s her. The night (of UFC 193), Holly said she’d do the rematch and that Ronda deserved it and everything else. So we were holding it for her if she wanted to do it.” Erick Silva vs. Nordine Taleb added to UFC 197 A welterweight contest featuring Erick Silva and Nordine Taleb has been added to the already star studded UFC 197 event, Silva (18-6) is coming off a split-decision loss to Neil Magny at UFC Fight Night 74 this back in August.
