"As the sport continues to grow and as time goes on, maybe that will change," White said. "Maybe it will change or maybe less women will get involved, I don't know. We'll see what happens. Time will only tell. I don't know. But yeah, I still feel the same way."

Of course, White has made his stance on women's MMA pretty clear over the years. In short, he's not against women competing in MMA, but he simply doesn't believe there are enough top-level athletes fighting right now to build divisions around. It's a fair argument that even the most devoted supporter of WMMA would probably agree with.

That said, the times they are a changin', and after Gina Carano's absence took some of the spotlight away from the female fighters, the buzz seems to be coming back, thanks in large part to the emergence of Rousey, who White admitted after the presser that he was impressed with.

"She's talented," White said. "Great fights."

I don't really want to see two women fighting in a cage. Doesn't really appeal to me and I am glad UFC have steered clear of that so far.

I have the same feeling about it as Dana does, there just isn't enough women talent out there to build something off of it.

The way they are going, Gina Carano will be the only person left on the Strikeforce roster.

I wouldn't be too happy to see this, isn't very appealing to me.
