UFC’s Curious Misrepresentation of Ronda Rousey’s Olympic Medal

I’m not quite sure how to categorize this one, honestly. Brent Brookhouse over at BloodyElbow made note of a rather interesting disconnect going on with the UFC’s promotion of UFC 170 and Ronda Rousey, as they are touting Ronda Rousey as the first woman to medal in the Olympics for Judo. That is, of course, not a fact. Ronda Rousey was the first American woman to medal in the Olympics for Judo.

Check out the video below to hear the line from Mike Goldberg and read Brookhouse’s write up [here] to see why it seems more than just a one-time slip-up from the UFC and it keeps happening.
