I will literally throw up if that fight gets announced
15 million for an irrelevant fight no one cares about seeing.
There alot of "what-ifs" about this fight in 2024,which is part of why its interesting. I dont think its desperation. Ronda is going to make millions for them just showing up. People are gonna wanna see if she can get her fighting spirit back,and those who hate her,will root for Tate.I seriously doubt Ronda would ever fight again, and this would be incredibly sucky (desperation by the UFC). The only reason there is any chance it could happen is that Ronda would think she could easily beat Tate. I seriously doubt it though. She doesn't do WWE for free.
No doubt it would make money, she's second only to Conor as a PPV draw, and Tate has a lot of fans. I don't think it is a choice fight given it is a one-off from fighter who will never be relevant again, but you are right about it being advantageous for the UFC if they can actually get Ronda to do it. Ronda is the second highest paid female for WWE last I heard, so she doesn't need the money per se. The UFC would have a field day because the trash talk would start up again and self-promote the event; Sherdog will be obsessed with Ronda for a long time if this is true.There alot of "what-ifs" about this fight in 2024,which is part of why its interesting.

Yeah she doesnt do the WWE stuff anymore,but she probably made enough money from that and MMA to live for the rest of her life on it. So she doesnt NEED it,but it is now or never if she does want to fight again. She's 36,and if she can still do her judo,thats a hell of a way to get ridiculous cash for a nights work.No doubt it would make money, she's second only to Conor as a PPV draw, and Tate has a lot of fans.
