How Much Does Ronda Rousey Make In Sponsorships?, UFC Embedded, UFC 187 Weigh-In Results

- UFC released the latest episode of UFC Embedded, which features a hilarious segment where Anthony "Rumble" Johnson talks to a woman who is getting a colonic as he goes through his pre-fight ritual ahead of UFC 187. The show headliners are also shown going to ultimate media day.

Wrestling Inc will have full, live coverage of UFC 187 Saturday night, starting with quick results of the prelims. You can see the episode of UFC Embedded above.

- During a heightened time of criticism towards the UFC for the Reebok sponsorship deal, UFC President Dana White dropped a bit of a bomb regarding Ronda Rousey, and how much she rakes in per year from sponsors. While the figure wouldn't put her near the level of top-earning female athletes in the world, it does put her in elite territory. Props to Fox Sports for the transcription.

"She's laser-focused on her career and what she wants to do," White said on The Jim Rome Show. "None of these guys want to do PR. She'll do any PR you ask her to do. She'll even do PR to try to help sell somebody else's fight. We need her to do things, a lot of activations with sponsors and she says, 'No problem.' And when she leaves, the sponsors call here and say, 'She was unbelievable to work with.' That woman's making over $3 million a year in sponsorship."

- UFC 187 weigh-ins are complete, and every fighter on the card made weight besides Nina Ansaroff, who missed by a huge mark of four pounds. Her fight with Rose Namajunas will go on as a catchweight bout. You can see the full weigh-in results below.
