I think Dana is afraid of having his biggest draw getting knocked out and losing all those PPV buys.
To the first, agreed, but Rousey's deal seems to be more with not wanting to have to put on weight, and at the same time wanting Cris to shed the 'roid weight. So far, both have said they wanted it, but only on their own terms. Cris won't go down because, according to her, doctors won't let her drop 10 pounds and Rousey won't go up because she doesn't want to have to move up a class for a fight.
To the second, I dunno. If she keeps having 30 second KOs, people are going to start getting bored.
