Ronda Rousey, the former UFC women's bantamweight champion and Hall of Famer, is set to return to the cage in a 145‑lb matchup with Gina Carano. The bout will air live on Netflix and is promoted by Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions. Rousey, who left the sport in 2016 after two consecutive knockout losses, has been training again and is in top shape after having two children.
Rousey said she reached out to UFC President Dana White to explore a comeback in the organization, but the proposal did not materialize. White acknowledged her return to training and praised her fitness, but the fight ultimately fell outside the UFC, leading Rousey to pursue the Carano matchup instead.
