Ronda Rousey (12-2, 9 KOs) and Gina Carano (7-1, 3 KOs), two of the biggest names in women's mixed martial arts history, will un-retire and meet on May 16 in Los Angeles for a fight at the Intuit Dome, Most Valuable Promotions announced on Tuesday.
The fight between the 39-year-old Rousey and the 43-year-old Carano will take place in a hexagon cage over the course of five five-minute rounds and will stream live on Netflix.
Rousey's last MMA fight came in December 2016 when she was knocked out by Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 -- her second consecutive knockout loss -- and she was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2018. Carano last fought professionally in August 2009, when she suffered the first and only loss of her career to Cris Cyborg in a Strikeforce event.
Since then, Carano moved over to the movie world, most notably starring in films like Fast & Furious 6 and Deadpool. Rousey likewise tried her hand at acting and became a WWE superstar, where she had a pair of reigns as champion before leaving the promotion in 2023.
"Ronda came to me and said there is only one person she would make a comeback for and it has been her dream to make this fight happen between us," Carano said in a press release. "She thanked me for opening up doors for her in her career and was respectful in asking for this fight to happen. This is an honor. I believe I will walk out of this fight with the win and I anticipate it will not come easy, which I welcome. This is as much for Ronda and me as it is for the fans and mixed martial arts community. What a time to be alive."

No. It’s a Jake Paul fight. Unified Rules in a hexagonal cage (since you can’t use eight unless CBS gives you permission).
“What a time to be alive.”
Indeed. Women beating women to a bloody pulp.
Host it at a Memphis Waffle House.
Why did you bring something a sacred as the Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor into this post ?
Paige VanZant bare knuckle fighter. She was pretty when she started.
Which reminds me of what Howard Cosell wrote about Mike Tyson in “What’s Wrong With Sports?” He knew the one boxer who could defeat Tyson — sadly, he died before that boxer beat Tyson twice.
True.
Agreed.
Most likely.
LOL, now it just happens on pickleball courts down in Florida somewhere!
I imagine two “Ruth Buzzy” like characters having a purse fight.
Go Gina!
I believe he was referring to the previous post of a Monty Python skit where the "women" were recreating the Pearl Harbor attack in a mud pit.
Ha Ha Ha!!!!!!!
I mean, watching two AWFUL's beating on each other with protest signs might be entertaining.
How about a demolition derby with AWFUL's in SUV's and minivans...
Better than MMA.
I wanna see Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan go at it.....
