Former UFC champion Ronda Rousey revealed she contacted Dana White about a potential fight with Gina Carano, but negotiations with the UFC fell through. Instead, Rousey will face Carano in a 145-pound bout promoted by Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions for a Netflix event.
Rousey explained that Carano was the driving force behind her comeback, noting she's the one person she would return to fight for after seeing Carano struggling with her health. The fight marks Rousey's return to MMA nearly a decade after her last bout.
