Remember that it has more to do with state athletic commissions/overseeing bodies than any particular fight promotion (i.e. UFC, Bellator etc).

It's the state commissions that decide what can and can't happen in pro fights, who can and can't fight, which two can and can't fight each other and so on. You won't easily fight the state and win as a promotion or fighter but you can of course turn down fights such as Rousey did against the above dude.
