"“It wasn't personal. Well, with Hunter it was personal because he was just a f-ing asshole about it. He was just being such a chauvinist prick,” Rousey said. “He was being so dismissive and being like, just trying to get me and Gina to value ourselves less from the get-go, like this isn't the greatest thing that's fallen on his lap since he's f-ing been there.”"
"“He was like, 'Oh, I don't know. You guys are just so much older, and I just don't know how it's going to do.' I'm like, 'Who the f-k is this guy?' First of all, I didn't even know who he was. They told me he's the lawyer that's going to come and show your pay-per-views, and I was like, 'Fine. I don't care. I'm going to knock this out of the park.' I love having my pay be performance-based. F-k you, I'll go show you.”"

Hunter Campbell is described as the UFC’s chief business officer and informally as the UFC’s lawyer. Ronda Rousey recalled negotiations when the UFC considered booking a fight between her and Gina Carano. Rousey said Campbell acted in a personal, hostile way, calling him a chauvinist and dismissive. She said he tried to make her and Carano undervalue themselves from the start and questioned whether the fight would work because they were older. Rousey said she did not even know who he was and responded by embracing performance-based pay. She also said the UFC executive wanted the bout to function as a farewell to the women’s featherweight division, which she viewed as disrespectful to her and to women’s MMA.
