Rousey to Make MMA Return After a Decade to Fight Carano
Rousey and Carano, pioneers in women's MMA, will headline Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions' first MMA event streamed live on Netflix, marking Rousey's first fight in nearly 10 years.
- On May 16, Ronda Rousey will return to mixed martial arts to face Gina Carano at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, headlining a Most Valuable Promotions event.
- Both Rousey and Carano are coming out of retirement, with Rousey last fighting in 2016 and Carano in 2009, while speculation about Rousey's return began late last year and promoters framed it as an icon-driven blockbuster.
- The bout will be contested at featherweight under the Unified Rules of MMA, running five, 5-minute rounds with 4-ounce gloves in a hexagon cage.
- Netflix's broadcast will be its first live MMA event and stream globally, while MVP's first MMA card features a kickoff press conference and tickets on sale March 5.
- Amid streaming competition, promoters say the matchup leverages prior boxing success to expand MVP-Netflix live-event ambitions, while Gina Carano's past firing from The Mandalorian and lawsuit remain part of her public narrative.
