Ronda Rousey, the iconic MMA fighter, is set to make a highly anticipated comeback, nearly a decade after her retirement. The former UFC champion will face off against fellow pioneer Gina Carano in a fight that promises to be one of the biggest in women's combat sports history. The highly-anticipated showdown is set to headline the first professional MMA event staged by Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions, with the card streaming live on Netflix on May 16. Rousey, widely regarded as the biggest female star in MMA history, is making a shocking return to the octagon at 39 years old. In a bold statement, Rousey announced, 'I've been waiting so long to announce this: Me and Gina Carano are gonna throw down in the biggest super fight in women's combat sport history!'
The fight between Rousey and Carano is a highly anticipated super-fight that has been talked about for years. Carano, who has a 7-1 record, has been a prominent figure in MMA, while Rousey is a former UFC champion and the first woman ever signed by the UFC. The two fighters have a long history, with Rousey suffering a stunning upset loss to Holly Holm in 2015 and a subsequent defeat to Amanda Nunes in her comeback attempt a year later. The fight is being seen as a chance for both fighters to reclaim their glory and make history.
Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions is set to stage the event, marking its first venture into the world of MMA. The fight card is expected to feature additional bouts, with the countdown to the main event kicking off on March 5 with a press conference in Los Angeles. The event is being promoted as a 'fighter-first' promotion, with Rousey and Carano partnering with the biggest and baddest streamer on the planet, Netflix. The fight is expected to be a blockbuster, with both fighters having a lot to prove and a lot to gain. The question remains: who will come out on top in this highly anticipated showdown?
